Toshiba created a new website for its upcoming tablet to compete with Apple’s iPad. The website is build on Adobe Flash, a plug-in that iOS does not support. When an iPad or iPhone user tries to access Toshiba’s website, they don’t get just an “unsupported” message. Instead Toshiba redirects users to a page making the point that its tablet will play Flash content.Such a Shame. Add this to the list of the interesting places on the internet you can’t see on your device. Of course, if you had a Toshiba Tablet you would enjoy the entire internet. Yep, Flash sites too.
Of course, Toshiba’s tablet is not available yet and is not expected until Q2 of 2011. Then if you change the url of the redirected page from http://thetoshibatablet.com/mobile/apple.html to http://thetoshibatablet.com/mobile/ you’ll find a an iOS-compatible page. Successful marketing or dumb argument?
