The whole "No existing Flash apps on the iPhone/iPad" sounds similar to the first Mac which didn't have cursor keys. Steve jobs left them out just to make sure that none of the existing apps would run (which relied on these keys for control) and developers had to write apps from scratch, taking full advantage of the Mac. About two years later, they were added when there was enough good Mac software. Now it doesn't sound that Flash will have the same fate - at close to 200,000 apps right, you could say there's enough software now. Read from the guy who put the cursor keys on the Mac (and why the original Mac team created a "THIS IS SH*T!" stamp for Steve so that he could save time when rejecting design submissions): http://www.asktog.com/columns/082iPad&Mac.html -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
