i'm starting to change my mind about all of this a little. i don't necessarily believe the decision is a good thing. it's true, this has absolutely nothing to do with performance. but since the decision is not targeted toward adobe's flash technology exclusively, i don't feel as strongly about their closed standards.
for the record, i DO think it's lame that they aren't supporting flash in their mobile browsers - the world shouldn't have to port all their ads/apps/games/etc to html5 - just to support these popular platforms. that's just stupid - but, yes that's apple's decision to make.
having said all that, people spouting nonsense like "Innovate or die, bitches." is just moronic.
- The decision makes a huge amount of sense from a business point of view for Apple, maybe what caught people off guard was the abruptness of itukit
- people off guard was the abruptness of it, a clear slap at Adobeukit
- not making that decion could have been just as lucrative, but it would have required them to play nice with others.SteveJobs
- I think they assume they have very little to gain from opening up their platform to your average C++ illiterate Flash devukit
- that's what they want to you to believe. they'd sell tons more apps if others didn't have to learn a new technology. tons.SteveJobs
- You mean because of new ideas? There are so many apps already, it's kind of a flooded market but I guess you could argue the more people you empower the better.ukit
