second, it is enough of a chore that if I am on a local news site and an article has video and I have to download an app to view it, I will just skip it... MOST users would. |

I agree that that would suck, and is a drawback, but I think that will not be a huge hindrance for most people. Posted via Mobile Device |

when do you think those will catch up? I bet your IPad won't be able to do anything with them for at least 18 months... probably longer... by then it will be obsolete. |

I played with one in Best Buy tonight. Seems like an OK toy, but I don't think I could personally get used to the touchpad keyboard for my "normal" internet usage. Not that we were really considering it as an option, but we went with an HP netbook instead.

FlyCast for radio. Well, my phone also does Chiefs radio broadcasts for free with Sprint NFL Mobile.
ESPN already has an app that includes video highlights and other content, although it costs $5 (boo). I'm sure it won't be long until the NFL and other places make apps that include game streaming. Netflix already has their application ready to go. |

I was annoyed about having extra apps as well but it is essentially the same as having a favorite link saved in your browser. Only streamlined.

so, you'll have a kcchiefs.com app and a kcfx app, and a (etc etc) app? it's fine for youtube or pandora or even cnn... but it is NOT a sustainable model....

Wanna bet if there is a better piece of hardware out in 12 months than the "latest" Ipad? Same thing with Iphone... from a tech standpoint, it is now on the trailing edge... in 3 months it will be FAR behind... Kudos to Apple for pushing good tech, but I'm not willing to finance it just to feel "cool" with a Kindle on steroids... (btw, anyone who wants it because they want to use it as an ereader with more functionality... props... because that is exactly what it is... my buddy just wanted that and I agree that he got value for his purchase) |

ONCE? once for how many damn sites? lets count... Pandora? Youtube? KCChiefs (if offered)? KCFX(if offered)? It adds up pretty damn quick. For me, it would require over 50 apps... that is just plain stupid.
