Όπως δήλωσε ο ίδιος ο Steve Jobs:

“When I wrote that Thoughts On Flash thing, I was clear about our objections to Flash. At the end of the day, it’s just a battery hog. But as our customers well know, we care what they think. If Flash is what they want, that’s what we’re going to give them. Adobe couldn’t overcome the obstacles with Flash, so we went out and found a partner who could.”

Ο συνεργάτης στον οποίο αναφέρεται ο Steve Jobs δεν είναι άλλος από την Honda. Οι μηχανικοί της υπερέβαλλαν εαυτόν για να αναπτύξουν τη νέα εξελιγμένη φορητή γεννήτρια που θα τροφοδοτεί το iPad XL:

“Just insert iPad into the XL’s side-mounted socket. The diesel-powered generator starts up automatically, providing ample power to run Flash-dependent websites for up to 22.5 hours on a single tank.”

Ο Steve Jobs δηλώνει ενθουσιασμένος με τις δυνατότητες της νέας γεννήτριας:

“This is the world’s quietest combustion engine — only 96 decibels. The revolutionary iPad XL gives you all the magic of iPad, and makes it possible to run the flashiest and most tasteless Flash sites on earth.”
