I don't like flash, it makes my notebook or PC runs hot. It's too processor intensive to run flash on mobile devices.
 
I like the iPad, stand by 30 days. Just wake and surf, no need to boot-up and shut down. It works just like the iPhone/iPod.
 
I have 2 x netbooks at home, guess what. I use my iPhone more than them.

Yang,
 
Sure, and once I get hold of one. The problem with the 3G model is, it uses Micro-SIM. Not the same SIM card we use in the current iPhone. Micro-SIM is much smaller.
 
So, I am hoping that the iPAD can sure internet from my iPhone. Otherwise, I don't know if I should get the 3G model as I need to subscribe to another 3G plan.

Another thing to add - no many will believe that the iPhone's browsing experience is actually quite good, until you try one.
 
in the iPhone safari, just double tap on certain section to zoom in, rather than pinching. It's much faster that way.

Ya, I agree. You never try you never know..
 
3G iPad is not cheap, you need to add more US130 for the 16GB model
