I’m showing evidence. That’s the best possible evidence that I can show you.
Would it be better proof, to you, if I simply said “oh, it works great”? I wouldn’t think so.
Do you look for the New York Times approval of the capabilities of the android devices?
A youtube video is probably the best proof I can use. Alongside the youtube video I’d like to see a detailed description of whereever youtube on android might fail.
Are you saying that the youtube video was faked? That what you’re seeing on the youtube video isn’t actually happening.
What the youtube video shows is that this $204 device can do something that the $500 ipad can’t do. And what the $204 device is doing is playing the youtube videos that you see embedded on many many webpages.
Yes, Apple was first, and might not have been able to fix the technical problems they were having. But the $204 device, after 6-12 months, have been able to do it. I assume that the next firmware update or the next ipad model will fix this glaring problem.
If the $204 device can do it, the apple should be able to too.
Apple fanboys should just cede the point.
Apple doesn’t have flash. The cheap $204 android does.
Point to Android device.
I’ve asked people - what are the things that the apple devices can do that these android devices can’t?
The apple device is so much more expensive than the mid816 that the apple should be able to keep up with the herotab mid816.
The iPad can do YouTube. YouTube is already in the process of moving away from Flash. Browsers that support it can get H.264 or VP8 streams, in MP4 and WebM containers respectively, embedded in HTML5.
CNet, Gizmodo, Anandtech, PC Magazine, or a mainstream media outlet would be a start. Any serious, independent review based on using the device for at least a few days, not a few minutes, would be a start. Anyone who took the time to try it out and write it up rather than point the camera at it for a couple minutes.
When there is no such review, it's fair to ask why.

Oh, I don't doubt that some Flash content appeared on the tablet's screen for a few seconds. What we don't get is how it handles Flash content that wasn't hand-picked for the review. How that affects the battery. Whether it works in any meaningful sense. It's like showing one of those "professional driver on a closed course" TV commercials and thinking that tells you anything about how a car will handle real-world driving.

The iPad plays YouTube videos. Try again.

You're flogging a device with a 800 x 600 pixel resistive display that boasts (?) a three-hour battery life. In the video demo at http://is.gd/wXJ9oC, video playback stutters and has no audio.
You are obsessive about Flash as a checklist item. Whether it's actually able to do anything useful does not seem to interest you much. You have two criteria:Does it claim to run Flash, and is it cheap. If that's what you want, then buy it.

What is it you want to do? I don't have the time or inclination to summarize the half-millon IOS apps out there.

The BMW is so much more expensive that it should be able to keep up with the cup holders on the Kia.
You make the assumption that YouTube videos are all Flash. That are not. Many of them are H.264 and play quite well on iPads and iPhones. YouTube is rapidly converting it's video content to H.264 and dropping Flash. Less than 26% of video on the web is still Flash and most of that is advertising. . . And it's getting less and less every day.
It's been a long time since I've seen a YouTube video that refused to play in situ on my iPad or iPhone. There are still some. . . But they are rare. So your proof is not. Especially when your "proof" says that YouTube itself won't work on your vaunted tablet.
