@molgrips: not talking about anyone in particular on this thread or another. Just gets on my goat that some people feel a desperate need to hate something. It used to be Bill Gates and it just happens to be Steve Jobs more recently. It is the best product for the moment, who cares who it is made by!?
@SkillWill: Sky News has one of if not the best iPad video apps available. BBC news have been the poor second cousin of anything on the iPhone/iPad. Their execution of news on these devices are pretty poor.
@Doug: can’t say anything to that. Maybe just move along, nothing to see here. 😀
Apple wants to sell products and if Flash was so great they would have put it on the devices. Simple as that. The around 25-30 million iPad’s sold, the around 100 million iPhones sold and all the recent Macbook Airs that shipped without flash is some indicator that lack of flash is not a killer for most people.
Yes Flash has already reappeared in some other form, it’s called HTML5. 🙂 A hell of a lot of video sites now support HTML5 and works well on the iPad including your most popular porn sites. 😀 Flash is a relatively old technology that simply hasn’t kept up with mobile as much as they could have and unfortunately in a lot cases hurts the user experience more than it helps it.
