    "I'll probably turn it off my self?"
    Yeah I'm sure peoples Mums and Dads will even understand the concept of a plugin, let alone which thing to turn off in preferences to stop their browser chugging along and crashing. They'll probably just come to the conclusion the iPhone is shit and then go back to their dumb handset.

    Do you see where Apple is coming from now? They are sick of an outside company's technology having a negative impact on the perception of their products.

    Its not some tin foil hat iTunes store conspiracy, Apple makes money on hardware not music sales. And if that hardware appears to be shitty because of Flash they'll ditch Flash

    • "they need some site-by-site safari/ flash approval." read the first fucking sentence.kingsteven
    • as for the "conspiracy" i used to do a lot of flash sites for record companies, and i'm an iPhone using music purchaser.kingsteven
    • i'm simply stating that what is being passed off as a technical decision, benefits the part of apple's business that fuels their hardware sales...kingsteven
    • hardware sales.kingsteven
    • that doesn't mean if i worked for apple i'd come to the same decision... in fact i'd probably ban flash for this reason alone.kingsteven
