    I tried Flash on an Android. It loads. It crashes sometimes. It works most of the time. But here's the real issue:

    Most Flash content that people expect just doesn't work with a touch device. Games? Yeah right. Most require a keyboard and a mouse (touch fails miserably). Lots of flash requires video acceleration too and that's simply a joke.

    Anyone who criticizes Apple for not including it needs to see the big picture.

    • you're right for the most part... but you can't argue Pixter's logic above - Apple's quite the hypocritePonyBoy
    • And what about the 50% of Flash that doesn't fit your description? You want to be restricted form it?CyBrainX
    • There are better alternatives already, in my opinion.monospaced
