iPad Content Ready to Roll

MacRumors reports that National Public Radio (NPR) and The Wall Street Journal are already getting ready to roll out Web sites designed specifically for the Apple iPad. Expect many more newpapers and magazines to announce iPad versions of their content over the next several months, with the iPad set to ship to buyers in the next 30 days. One of the interesting side effects--Adobe may have lost the Flash war. The content providers are beginning to report that they are creating "Flash free" sites. Apple has long contended that Flash, used for many kinds of multimedia content on the Web, is buggy and slow compared to using Java and some other video protocols.
