Just don't buy an iPad3, their WiFi doesn't work.

And as long as you like, that is all that matter. I prefer my 10 inch netbook I bought for 150 bucks, that runs a full operating system.

I had a netbook before I got my ipad. hated it. Too slow and too bulky for my needs/wants. The ipad is just perfect for me. I rarely notice the flash issue anymore and it doesn't bother me at all. It's much less of a problem today than it was at the start. People using ipads is forcing web developers to change(which is exactly what steve jobs argued would happen and it has).

To each his(or her) own right?

That is the difference between running a full feature OS, and a mobile phone sans phone OS (IOS). If you ran OSX on an iPad, it would be slower than a netbook. Netbooks have sped up though, and I would venture to say my netbook would do 100% of it's tasks faster than your iPad.

I don't think much web development has changed because of Steve Jobs saying he won't support Flash on any of Apple's IOS devices. HTML5, is still not widely used, most media is still delivered via Flash or Silverlight.

The only web developers have done is make mobile versions of sites, as opposed to making a Mobile Browser run the full feature site.

I wouldn't spend 600 bucks on it, I can tell you that for sure. To each their own.
