Apple has good products, yes - but are they THAT good? No, not really, they just have good marketing - some of the best there is. Just find the penetration rates of the jesus phone in the overall mobile market worldwide - you will see they aren't that high. Furthermore, compare that to how many people will be looking at said website on a computer. You will find that the iphone has an even smaller share.
The people at fault are really the populists who jump on the bandwagon without truly understanding the discussion. All the fanboys and media outlets who seem to think Jobs is the next messiah.
Jobs likes to ignore that macromedia and now adobe have created a 99% penetrated platform on the worlds internet connected computers. He's purposely not letting the platform onto these devices because of pure greed to make mega bucks out of the app store. He knows that if he let an open platform such as flash on there people would create all kinds of things and worst of all make them free! This is what I hate about Apple. They do their best to own everything you do with their products. In many ways worse than microsoft...
- How many mobile devices support Flash, regardless of manufacturer?noneck
- You're right about Apple wanting to control apps through the store, but I would hardly call Flash "open".noneck
- it's not about being open source, its about being able to build anything you want without oversighttOki
- adobe has released mobile flash for years, whether or not manfacturers do it well is up to them. Same goes for java!tOki
- the app store is full of free appsESKEMA
