Most of the time, it is either advertisement or flashy (pun intended) pictures distracting from the lack of real information on a page. (I apologize in advance should you as a flash programmer feel offended here...) Flash may be nice to have, but imho not crucial, especially on a mobile device. >Hank - -- ------------ LordHelmchen StGB SS328 Absatz 2.3: Mit Freiheitsstrafe bis zu fünf Jahren oder mit Geldstrafe wird bestraft, wer eine nukleare Explosion verursacht. /"\ \ / ASCII RIBBON CAMPAIGN X AGAINST HTML MAIL / \ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.3 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGAvsCkjh2CRpiG7QRA9TUAJ4rJHqCoafRfHVBVE5aiXESC+6O5gCfYVBj nn+p1DYRHcV41KSvLpqUewQ= =HYc6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
