The reality is that Android will support Flash in the coming months; whereas iPhone/iPad has never and apparently *will* never support Flash. Of course, the devil is in the detail... but let's assume for one minute that the implementation is "good enough"... What does that mean? - Android phones will support more of the full web (yes, Flash is part of the web) than the iPhone does - Android tablets will support more of the full web than the iPad does Consumers want to go to web-sites and have them "just work'. In the near future, it looks as if Android devices may be more likely to do that than iPhones/iPads do. RIM is adopting WebKit for its Blackberry browser, and Blackberries too will support Flash in the future. Same for HP with WebOS devices. And Microsoft with Windows Phone 7. I'm not sure if Steve Jobs inhales when he switches on his reality distortion field or not, but he seems to actually believe that Apple mobile products support the full web. They don't. It was (kind of) OK to say stuff like this when the competition was behind, but when the competition is ahead... well, it just looks a little deluded... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
