That's all about communication ... If you explain the consumer that Flash is an ogre in performance and so battery life and can be make your 500$ toy to crash, then people will be fine without it ;) But that would be a real slap in the face to Adobe, who is already pissed off with Apple. Anyway, they could provide a flash player on the iPad, that prompt the user. Then a Safari option in System prefs could choose between Enable / Disable / Prompt me each time. Or even better : launch the flash movie only when you clic on the missing flash movie blue icon… Technical solution exists, that's not the real problem.
Don't forget a big point: Flash provides developers to create pretty sexy cross-platform webapps, and specially games, in just a few days. Who would pay 300$ per year + 90$ per app submission to publish free content on the AppStore where a flash webapp is free to publish and can also accessible to Android users ? Big money problem for Apple then … their business plan is based on the AppStore + exclusive contents Remi Le 29 janv. 2010 à 11:31, 00Vic a écrit : > I personally won't argue your point about flash, I personally agree, > but the average user will see it as crippled internet, no? > > On Jan 29, 11:26 am, Remi Grumeau <[email protected]> wrote: >>> I agree with your point on the handhelds, and while the iPad could >>> definitely be considered a hand held, I think Apple's plan is to capture >>> the net book users who want something that looks pretty, which the Air >>> failed to do.
