OnSwipe is a solution looking for a problem to solve and does not bring any additional functionality to a website using it.

There are lots of creative and attractive themes out there. Unfortunately, OnSwipe replaces that creativity with a renderer that makes every page look the same (i.e. boring).

One of the biggest advantages of the iPad is its full-featured web support on a mobile platform; OnSwipe wipes out this advantage. It removes built-in iPad features (e.g. scrolling, page zoom, etc.) making reading pages awkward and unnatural. And it introduces a cheesy, unnecessary bouncing effect.

For this and other reasons I find OnSwipe to be useless and a bane to my web browsing experience.

I totally agree with you. The best part of the article was the thought-provoking title. :)

The HP I grew up with is (has been) gone and unless they get back to their innovative roots I don't believe they'll survive. Time will prove me right or wrong.

From a highly buzzed stupor - which I will regret later - no. A dual or triple monitor setup makes more sense. Being able to maximize separate applications on individual scteens makes more sense to me.
