Seriously, what steve cares about is money - not revenge or something of the sort. All pointers translate to money for apple: - flash is resource hungry, battery hungry: buggy phones mean reduced customer confidence & less money - iphone/ipad customers wanting flash based content can buy same from app store: more money for apple - eventually, html5 & h264 win - no more need to put resources into interoperability with whomever dreams up another new cutting edge codec or blah - even more money saved for apple (and everyone else). - am sure there are many more.. _______________________________________________ LUG mailing list [email protected] http://kym.net/mailman/listinfo/lug LUG is generously hosted by INFOCOM http://www.infocom.co.ug/ All Archives can be found at http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ The above comments and data are owned by whoever posted them (including attachments if any).
