iPad or tablet with flash?

Options
I am ready to bite the bullet and get a tablet - but which one?

Anything that supports flash and is as good as iPad?

    Dunno know if it supportts Flash but if I didn't already have an iPad I would go for the Asus Transformer with keyboard docking station. Have played with one a few times in the shops and finally found one on display together with the keyboard this week (in HMV) and was impressed. (£429 for bundle)
  • Thanks - will google the spec of the asus!

  • Another vote for the Asus, I have had mine a few months and love it. i didn't get the keyboard dock as I have a netbook for typing. Have never had any bother on the Asus on any websites I have wanted to view.

    depends on how much you want one now as just recently Amazon have come up with details of their own tablet, currently they have not released any exact plans for launches outside of the USA, so do not know when it might arrive, although i would expect it for around christmas (probably in the new year) and is rumured to be about $199 so between £150 and £200 when it hits our shores.
    Drop a brand challenge
    on a £100 shop you might on average get 70 items save
    10p per product = £7 a week ~ £28 a month
    20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
    30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)

    Well, with the keyboard/docking station, it's quoted as 16 hours. think it is 7hrs for the tablet itself.

    Nor do I.

    OP is there something specific you want flash for? There was a thread a few days ago where someone said they needed flash for survey websites and national lottery instant win games, also there are lots of websites with free flash games, if you want it for something like that then don't get an iPad - you want something with flash on it.
    If it's because you think you need it for websites in general then don't worry, you don't - I've never noticed any problems caused by the lack of flash.
