And judging by the marketshare of iOS devices, I'd say that they do the job very well. Perfectly? No. But they do well enough that people get by. Just because the webpage may not have HTML5 doesn't mean that it is inaccessible to an iOS device, and that's what really matters as it pertains to this thread.
I think this whole discussion has become too bogged down in details.

Ok, back on topic then.. I still contend that an iPad is almost USELESS to a user like me... there is far too much that I can NOT do on an iPad that I can on a touchpad or my phone.
I honestly thought by now or at least in the next 6 months(18-24 months from original debate)... that wouldn't be the case... that by NOW HTML5 would have caught up and it would be a viable standard that would be seriously getting adopted across the board. I thought by now an iPad would be useful even for me... I was wrong .. it's still a piece of crap for me... maybe in another year or two.
