The iPad does not run flash but I’ll buy one anyway. I’ll probably buy a HP Slate too. Why? Because I can:)
Chipworks (www.chipworks.com) has had a snuffle under the bonnet and found that basically the iPad is just a large iPod and has about as much in common with a computer as a packet of peanuts has with the empire state building.
