silly seems to me like Apple is trying to INFLUENCE the phase out as much as they are predicting it.

if cnn, espn, abc and hulu are still using flash then it's a HUGE issue... even if just one or two of them are... Set a time when you think 90% of the top sites (let's limit to top 100 sites and I am being generous here) have stopped using Flash... Sometime in 2011? 2012? What quarter? (I won't even hold you to a month) Until then, it is a HUGE issue... maybe for YOU it isn't, but MOST people enjoy watching a little streaming video at times without a seperate app or some hokey workaround. |

That is exactly what they are doing, FLASH is a bulky resource hog and Apple wants to avoid using adecent processor or RAM ... SO once again they have gotten lazy and arrogant in thinking that THEY can dictate the standards instead of adapting to the market... last time they tried this, they almost went bankrupt...

btw.. you do realize that makes the Ipad a piece of crap for a user like me until a full YEAR from now... my GUESS is quite a few nicer FLASH supporting devices will have passed it by then... but back to the bet... |

That is NOT a flash issue btw... it is a HULU issue. they have quite possibly the worst most resource intensive video delivery i have ever witnessed... my DESKTOP sometimes has issues with them... but never with anyone else... |

And it may not be a good thing for you, but that doesn't make it a piece of crap. That is a silly statement to make about nearly ANYTHING, not just the iPad. Posted via Mobile Device |

You geeks are getting a little testy in here. It's almost as bad as the pro-Cassel and anti-Cassel debate. Hey, I wonder if Cassel likes the iPad? Maybe we can combine it, LOL.
