As reported on Engadget and other blogs, Apple is currently running
a promo
on their website for the ipad showing it running flash from
Adobe..which it
can't do. So the ipad that can do it all, but not flash, has to lie
about
doing flash? How long till Apple pulls it?
How do you know that it is Flash and not HTML5? Both Safari 4 and
FireFox 3.6 now support enough of HTML5 to handle this. If you use
these up-to-date browsers you can even set your YouTube preferences to
use HTML5 instead of Flash.
There is now some debate about who ships buggier software with some
proposing that Adobe has now pulled ahead of M$. Many report that
using the FlashBlock add-on has greatly improved their browser
performance and eliminated too-frequent crashes. Apple's message to
Adobe is to clean up their act if they want access.
WFBs may find frequent crashing just adds to the excitement, but not
everyone does.
