No, I can't. But I don't need or want to, either. I have been using iOS for well over a year now. The amount of times the lack of Flash has directly interfered with my enjoyment of the device or ability to use the web is about .00000001%.
It's revisionist history because no one said that Flash would die immediately. And it won't and hasn't. But the fact that Adobe has now discontinued it for mobile means that everyone saying Flash was dying were absolutely correct.
Even the TouchPad team said it was underpowered. They found that it ran twice as fast on the iPad 2 hardware.

Wrong about the impending demise of Flash? Are you in denial? Flash's impending demise for mobile has been confirmed by its creators. The fact that you continue to deny it is unreal. |
OMG how am I supposed to take you seriously after a post like this? #1 you are missing the point on HTML5 as a standard... have you been drinking? You normally aren't this obtuse. If the web is split 50/50 on the standard... it WON'T MOVE FORWARD... Christ, do you think there is a separate HTML5 for mobile? If the entire web doesn't have adoption of HTML5 then it doesn't matter if mobile browsing is 99% iOS. NOW do you see the point? HTML5 DID NOT GET ADOPTED LIKE THE APPLE FANBOIS SAID IT WOULD. It will eventually, I said that... it's just slow going.
Do we need to drag up all the old posts? I don't recall if it was you but PLENTY of people touted HTML5 and how it would render Flash obsolete... and they were saying it 18+ months ago. Do you deny that? THEY WERE WRONG! PERIOD! You can't place a bet on the Chiefs winning next week and then when they finally win 4 weeks from now claim it as being right.
I have said all along that HTML5 will replace Flash.. the argument was over
timing... now that it's a YEAR AND HALF LATER.. I think I was proven right.
Find where I once denied Flash would someday go away? I have said it all along... and I fully expect in 2-3 years I won't be using Flash on my phone unless Adobe does a 180 (very likely).. and even then HOPEFULLY HTML5 adoption will have progressed.
I don't find the Touchpad to be underpowered... but I'll concede that point if you'll stay on topic.
I'm seriously disappointed.. you are normally far smarter than this.. your last post was borderline moronic.
Oh and one last thing... we must be VERY different web users because I use Flash on my phone or tablet almost EVERY SINGLE DAY. I would posit that you have dumbed down and limited your browsing because of iOS.
