    Thumbs up Stuff making iPad useful

    I recently stumbled upon some really useful apps and platforms for use in iPad and other future tablets so I decided to make a thread about useful apps and services that can make iPad revolution meaningful. I encourage everyone to post things own "discoveries" here.

    Here's my first post.

    Adobe Works Around Apple with New Digital Publishing Technology
    It's a New Digital Publishing Platform form Adobe (yes Adobe) and it doesn't use Flash.

    Here are some useful apps available.
    Instapaper- save webpages for reading later. It's free or you can get the Pro version.
    CloudBrowse- it's meant for the iPhone right now but they are making an iPad app. Basically, it lets you control a browser on a regular computer so you can run Flash.
    Desktop- This lets you use 2 of the installed programs at the same time so you can multitask a little better,

    Nice app that was being created here. I guess it's Adobe's way of getting revenge at Apple for not allowing Flash :P

    My signature likes cookies! Do you? :D

    I don't thinks it is a question of revenge it's more like adopting to current situation and making users happy (something Apple should consider doing in the future regardless of Flash or any particular technology, but in general).

    Flash is rubbish, and Apple keep telling everyone that.

    Nah flash is good for its use, HTML5 is nice. But its no walk in the park like flash. Its going to be much more intensive overall.

    1 thing Apple lacks is respect some times. I respect Apple for their strides and ++ they have done for the tech world but they have done alot of stupid stuff as well. But haven't we all.

    Apple were the first to get rid of terminal. They were the first to get rid of the big floppy disks. People flamed them for that. In fact, they're flaming them exactly the same as they're flaming them now, for not supporting flash.

    Also, have you ever used flash on a touch screen? I have. It's not very good.

    Yes but theres much more to Flash then fancy animations and games. Flash is a platform and it's not that bad when you really think about it. Flex (AIR) is something you can't just ignore and it's not as bad as you think.
