This is the type of thing that concerned me about Mobile Safari and Flash. It's not that I care so much about Flash being on the iPhone/iPad (it'd be nice if it could work well though), it's that they're preventing all browser plugins and extensions. HTML5 is great, but standards tend to become standards by adopting the innovative third-party addons. Mobile Safari seems far too locked down at this point.

Same goes for the iPad's Mail App. I'd love to use it, but until I can add my own Archive button (I use MailActOn with OS X), it's far too tedious for managing my inbox (just use it for skimming).



4.2 in November should include an "Archive" button for Gmail accounts.


That's great news. Any idea if it'll work for IMAP/Exchange accounts that have an Archive folder? For Gmail, I just use the web iPad interface (which, in my opinion, is nicer than the Mail app).
