I assume so, yes. It was using the YouTube app. Very impressive actually. Can't believe I very nearly didn't buy one.... Makes a 200 quid net book seem overpriced. -- Posted from NewsTap for iPad

We will just have to get used to not being able to rest any of our fingers on the home keys (especially a and semicolon), since on the iPad the virtual keyboard registers these as keypresses. I have looked into whether we can reduce the sensitivity of the virtual keyboard to allow us to rest our fingers lightly on the home keys without it registering spurious key presses. Anyway I don't think it will take very long to get used to the "floating fingers" style of typing, but for long typing sessions a keyboard dock will be necessity (I got one). > - Doesn't appear to have Flash (?!). I don't think that is a negative.
