For some reason my post yesterday didn't take.
The camera USB adapter apparently accepts other devices. Headsets for one are go. Zip drives I assume have been tried with no luck, but it appears they could be enabled at some point given that headsets work.

I think this is a great summary of the situation. Flash is the past. HTML5 is the future. Apple has never been shy about leading the pack when it comes to dumping old technologies without a future. Much like when they were one of, if not the first, to dump 3.5" floppy drives. |

The irony of Steve Jobs criticizing another company for being "proprietary" is pretty amusing.

I think a more fair take is that he's criticizing Adobe for claiming to be open.

So, when he ignores the App Store point and frames it in terms of the web, he ignores Adobe's initial argument. Having said that, it really is all about the web and not the App store. Flash on the iPhone/iPad is not the big story here, it's flash becoming obsolete.

The reliability and performance aspect of Flash is way overblown in the article. Anybody with a jailbroken iPhone or iPod can easily attest to that. Flash video performs perfectly fine on many different mobile devices and has for some time. And Flash in OS X works great too. In Safari, Firefox, and Chrome.

On what merits? I've experienced Flash on every model of iPhone, on several Winmobile phones, on 2 Android phones, and on Palm OS. It ran great on each one. I maintain multiple labs full of Macs ranging from G3s to the newest Mac Pros, running a wide range of OS X versions. They all access Flash content for online learning purposes every day. Never had any performance or reliability problems. None.

Not saying I don't believe you. But that has never been my experience. I manage well over 500 Macs at work. We do in house Flash development ourselves. I check log files very consistently and have to keep track of trends like browser crashes. ARD gathers reports on a daily basis on nearly every machine I manage. Flash can crash the browser sure, but it's not a noticeable trend by any means at all. And that's in collaboration with other campus's IT departments that have similar systems in place.

Bottom line,
Until Apples customers complain and they start losing money because of lack of Flash support, they wont change. and right now, Apple is winning. |
