    Wasn't it about increasing profits with h264 licensing on videos instead of flash. But than google came out with webm or something and apple responded by making h264 license free. If i remember right the whole anti flash push was simply bottom line profitablility under the guise that it was a sub par technology that couldn't run on first gen devices that didn't even have the power to mutlitask..

    • those flash games sucked ass on mobile devices because they required a mouse or keyboardmonospaced
    • the app store is full of free apps and apple doesn't get a cut. Stop saying stupid things.ESKEMA
    • oh, and they ran like utter shit, or else they would have prevailedmonospaced
    • Free apps builds stores inventory. Apple advertises number of apps. In app purchases of free apps is 30%. Thats profit.

    • all seems quite profitable. as far as early flash xp. Hardware/OS wasnt up to snuff. Mac never tried to develop to let in competition. App stores became popular since web xp on phones suck

    • competition and web experience on phones sucked anyways so native apps were easier. liek a native plugin.

    • that's why it's not bloated with viruses, malware and hair loss.ESKEMA
