Adobe halts new installations of Flash Player on Jellybean
- will be available on certified devices by default.monolith
- That'll be fun to explain to clientsanimatedgif
- Flash on mobile is really for existing content It's all about apps.monolith

Syncing tabs is very nice, and the voice search works reasonably well so far. Atomic browser loaded an NYTimes article a teensy bit faster, but it looks nicer in Chrome, imo.
Dolphin browser has a lot more functions than either Atomic or Chrome, but Chrome I think has a nice balance of form & function. I'll give it a few days before it becomes my main browser though.

"Chrome for iOS doesn't use V8 or the Chromium fork of WebKit, just UIWebView. [0] Because it's using WebViews, it's about 3x slower than the OS's Safari browser [1], because WebViews in sandboxed apps don't get the "Nitro" JavaScript JIT from iOS 5 onwards (presumably for mark-executable security reasons)."
- Just as well get a Chrome sticker and put it on the screen running Safari, then.mikotondria3

Google Chrome iPad Link - http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/c…

Keep in mind this Chrome for iOS is pretty much UI functionality, sync service and whatever else Google might have added, but the browser is the same that comes with iOS including the javascript engine per the iOS App Store rules. So this doesn't have the V8 engine or any Google improvements made to webkit and the JS engine.
- interesting stuff. I'd like to know more about these app store rules that affect browser competition. *Searches*Hombre_Lobo
- Yeah, the lack of a TRUE chrome experience (v8, etc.) is lame but will have to do for now...ideaist
- it's propagating now through the stores should be available shortlyernexbcn

@Hombre_Lobo they didn't blame the devices for being slow, they blamed Adobe for not getting their act together and proving they could provide a plugin with reasonable cpu/memory/battery usage.
Best proof that Apple was right is that a few years later Adobe itself decided to kill the Flash plugin for mobile devices.
- And don't tell me it still exists, they aren't going to update it anymore as of today.ernexbcn
- That's all well and good but last time I checked my phone runs flash fine with no problems.Hombre_Lobo
- Nobody doing a site for mobile will do it on Flash nowadays.ernexbcn
- yep.. They'll do an app cause html5 runs like shit on mobilemonolith
- also, proof apple were right?
well thats completely wrong. They weren't right, they just facilitated the death of flash by not...Hombre_Lobo - not supporting it. Which really as digital content creators we should be personally outraged by. Flash worked perfectly fine before..Hombre_Lobo
- before apple came along, so why should a company dictate what is and isn't a good web format?Hombre_Lobo
- and obviously mobile sites will be done in html/html5 simply because of mass apple iOS users.Hombre_Lobo
- Adobe simply accepted what apple did to the industry and changed strategies accordingly.Hombre_Lobo

"Apple creates iPad that cant handle flash, so they kill flash"
Adobe killed Flash when they took their eyes off the road and tried to force it into being a Web app platform instead of a multimedia platform.
This is all irrelevant anyway because it's not like Flash runs on the Nexus 7. Looks like Apple was right.
- um.. Flash does run on Nexus 7 don't know what you are talking about.monolith
- http://www.theverge.…animatedgif
- Unless you mean compiled apps... which the iPad can also run so fuck knows what you're raving aboutanimatedgif
- you do realize that there are gazillion browsers on Android. You meant Chrome. This is not iOS you know.monolith
- and btw, Flash is not "killed". They are just not bringing new features to it, it's still there.monolith
- Just because the corpse is still hanging about doesn't mean it's alive. Adobe ditched itanimatedgif
- You need to find a new axe to grind Bozanimatedgif

That nexus Q thing looks sweet. Also a well supported but cheap/affordable tablet is something that could really take off.
ps - What's with these mythical apple fanboys the android/pc dorks always seems to be complaining about? All I ever seem to read on comments of tech articles are a) how shit Apple are b) how new product x is going to shit on Apple. The pc/android nerds are bloody obsessed with Apple.
- +1 on the fanboy stuff.Nathan_Adams
- All fan boys are tools, but if you haven't seen any apple fan boys you must be living in a cave. There are even some on qbn!Hombre_Lobo

Which bad news? the nonsense some of you have written?
Skewed mind? you missed the part where I opened this thread and basically praised most of the stuff they announced.

How is Google's 3D maps better than Apple's 3D maps? Genuine question, as they don't look all that much different.
- Neither have been released yet. Both will be available on iOS too.ernexbcn
