    I didn't read the article, can you not install the plug-in manually?

    I was thinking of picking up a new Air.

      Yep... It doesn't come pre-installed for obvious reasons.

        Maybe I'll look at picking up an older refurb then. That sucks. No flash? How long before there is a workaround?

          It doesn't come pre-installed but you can download it and install it yourself.

            Gotcha. I misunderstood then. My personal laptop is starting to crap out. Time to start shopping.

              Verizon beats out AT&T with iPad ads. The rumors are starting to fly that CMDA (Verizon network) support for the iPad (and I assume iPhone) will be available 1Q2011.

                I think it will be on Verizon...I think Verizon has a better network, but I think they will get overwhelmed with iphone users. As a bonus to those that stay with ATT, I bet the service improves as demand lessens with Verizon in the game.

                  Of course, the switch to Verizon requires new hardware. Existing AT&T customers could, in theory, switch to T-Mobile with only a software change.

                    I would assume those rumors are starting to fly...given that the previous flying rumors had VZW with a CDMA iPhone Q4 of this year. Now that this will clearly NOT happen, the next obvious rumor is Q1.

                    My prediction, if there is no VZW iPhone by Feb, rumors will start to fly that it is coming in Q2.

                      I was talking to my BIL about this a few days ago and these rumors have been around for a couple years.

                      I'm not sure what concessions Apple was able to get out of ATT so ATT could have the exclusive deal, but I'm doubtful that they could pull off the same thing with VZW. First, VZW is regarded as the best network. Second, Android is capturing something like 43% (and it's growing) of the new smartphone subscribers so VZW is at an increasingly smaller competitive disadvantage to ATT by not having the IPhone. At this point, the IPhone probably needs VZW more than VZW needs the IPhone. But don't count on Apple realizing this any time soon -- they're Apple after all.
                      Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

                      • Hearing that iOS4.2 is being released friday. That will be nice.

                        As far as the commercial, I have been running that setup since I bought my iPad. Works great.

                          I've read that it is tonight at 6PM.

                          The update has already gone live; you’ll receive an OTA update notification this week. You can also choose to opt for manual download, the choice is yours. The first thing anyone will notice in the iPad is the availability of iOS Folders, alongside a variety of features that were only available on the iPhone.

                          Plus, there are some handy new multitasking features. Think of incorporating the software orientation lock and music playback controls in their new and updated forms. Finally, there is a game center in the iPad that sort of works like Microsoft Xbox Live Marketplace. You’ll be able to download games, set matches online and upload your scores like MS Gamers do.
                          either way, should be cool.

                            Usually iTunes updates the day before. I haven't seen a non developer update yet. If the release is tonight, I would hope the iTunes update is soon!
