Yea it's a bunch of crap, really bugs me because I otherwise like the device. Not having flash is a huge annoyance but I could almost deal with it because I knew it beforehand but I had no idea the thing wouldnt be able to do something as simple as download and upload files from the internet. It's really a huge oversight on Apples part. Hopefully they address it with OS 4.0 because this coupled with no flash is enough of a dealbreaker for me to want to switch to another device like this once they start hitting the market.
I'm really starting to understand where the people are coming from that talk about how controlling Apple is and how limited iPhone OS is, it didnt bother me so much when I had my iphone because it was too small to really take advantage of anything but on a device like the ipad theres no excuse for it. It's not the "in between a phone and laptop" device it has been touted as it is simply a phone with a bigger screen that can't make calls and really can't do anything else that the phone doesn't do.
Well, that's why many people say that iPad is big iPod Touch
