I don't like this change in Apple policy. I mean I wasn't exactly looking forward to cross-platform Flash apps (most cross-platform apps stink because they are so different from native apps - Swing, anybody?), but I would like the market sort that out, not Apple. The one interesting bit is that this license change only kicks in with iPhone OS 4. Apple could have changed the terms now, so why wait for a couple of months? There is this theory that the multi-tasking coming in iPhone OS 4 relies on analyzing the apps and fails if they run interpreted / alien code: http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/10/04/09/apples_prohibition_of_flash_built_apps_in_iphone_4_0_related_to_multitasking.html The Apple approach to multi-tasking is rather unique, indeed, and seems better on paper than the Android way in most cases - as Steve Jobs yesterday said, if you need a task manager, you blew it multi- tasking. :-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
