And it's not at all hard or expensive to change the hardware in the phones.
The fact that it's better doesn't matter. Apple doesn't like adobe.

And it looks like they won't need to.

Apple - iPad-ready websites
Ding ding.

Okay, I went to best buy yesterday at 9 am and I had no problem getting a 64gb iPad, in fact they had plenty. No cases though, I'll have to go back for that.

So far I really like it. Of course it's not perfect and it doesn't do everything but it's great for browsing the web and playing games. I haven't gotten the camera connection kit but I intend to use that for photo shoots since this is after all property of my company.

My main complaint with the keyboard is that the apostrophe is not easily accessible. Other than that it's easy enough to type on except i'm use to resting my fingers on the keys. I already have a bluetooth keyboard that works well so I'm not concerned.

The html5, while not that best thing in the world, does work for streaming videos but it's easy to format movies for it that you download as well.

Oh and I've heard people complain that they don't know how to hold it but I haven't had that problem. I've been using my legs or pillows while sitting and resting it on my forearm while standing. You can do everything with one hand fairly easily, except of course typing. I hope that provides some insight for you guys. If you're a techie that has to be able to do everything at once this isn't for you but I think many people will love it.
