And worth noting that if you want to access BBC video you need to locate the beta version of iPlayer on iPad, - on the iPhone it defaults to the HTML5 version, not on the iPad.

did you turn the volume up? were there videos uploaded to the machine? can the nexus produce spreadsheets, email letters with tables and pictures or have a really cool, instantly recognisable, and sometimes despised corporate logo inscribed in beautiful, yet recyclable aluminium? ;-) buy an iPad, you know you want to.... go on, take the plunge, you'll

There are add ons for Firefox, Opera etc if you want to block Flash in other browsers.

I wouldn't say PC World is an ideal test environment. You have no idea what their wifi network is like, and what content filtering they have. Saying that I did see an iPad in the Apple Store struggle to load the BBC Homepage over wifi but I think it was just a moment of trouble as it had no issues with other websites.
