Toshiba�s Tablet Website Disses the iPhone And the iPad

You mad? Toshiba�s teaser site for their upcoming tablet line looks like any regular Flash website on a normal desktop web browser.
Visit that same website from an iOS device such as the iPhone or iPad, and not so much.
While it�s obvious that the Flash aspects would be omitted from the iOS versions of the website due to Apple�s well documented lack of support for the plugin, it�s not the lack of Flash that has people talking this time�


Visiting thetoshibatablet.com from an iPhone yields a deliberate war of words against Apple�s devices in particular. This isn�t some thinly veiled subliminal diss, it�s an obvious knock against the iPhone and the iPad.
Interestingly enough, Toshiba�s tablet lacks a solid release date and even a name at this point in the game. It seems to me like you�d want to have your product further along before taking shots at the competition.
And isn�t Toshiba an Apple partner anyway? Won�t they directly benefit from Apple�s success? I guess that�s just the way things work in today�s world.

What�s funny is that if you remove the �apple.html� from the end of the website, you�re presented with a Flash-less, full HTML website that works just fine on any iOS device.

It�s obvious that Toshiba went out of their way to throw stones in Cupertino�s direction.
What do you think about all of this? Childish, or wise marketing strategy?

I think you know which way I�m leaning�
