12, 2010 It's tough sticking to my guns when it comes to my Apple boycott because every 5 or so years I get an iPod for Christmas, and I use iTunes to put my mp3s on it. iPhones are cool and all but those data plans aren't worth it at current price points for me at the moment. I appreciate Apple products for their quality, but when they become status symbols, something churns in my stomach a little. Compound that with the fact that Steve Jobs and company have completely forsaken Flash. Apparently the hip new iPad has little to no Flash support. Of course, FlashNewz is a place for Flash fans and there's plenty of overlap with Apple faithful here, but the more it hates on Flash, the more it appears to be the MadTV version of the iPad. The Scoblizer is here this week covering just how Adobe is firing back against all this anti-flash sentiment. Come to think of it, Jobs is an anti-flashite! (joke source) I mean, there are literally hundreds of thousands of insanely fun flash sites. The iPad would have us be inclined to think that there is no value in that. I'm sorry, but I think the contrary. Mark Rivera For any site suggestions or general musings, gimme a shout at mark@flashnewz.com And don't forget to check out our Flash Directory |

No Flash on the iPad, Adobe Fires Back  By Robert Scoble There's a ton of chatter on Techmeme today regarding iPad and Flash and HTML 5. Again. In particular don't miss posts from ReadWriteWeb regarding Flash vs. HTML 5 speed and PC World's comparison of HP's new Slate vs. the iPad and how the focus will be on Flash. Yesterday I sat down with top execs from Adobe's Flash team. I filmed two videos: 1. A video demo of a variety of things Adobe announced at the Mobile World Congress, including a new Flash player for Android and Palm Pre (I played with it yesterday, very nice). 2. A response to Apple about Flash's appropriateness for including on iPhone and iPad. Why won't the iPad have Adobe Flash technology? Anup Murarka director of technology strategy and partner development for the Adobe Flash platform and Aaron Filner, group product manager of Flash platform, focusing on AIR, answer some of the reasons why Steve Jobs doesn't put Adobe Flash onto the iPad in one of the videos I filmed yesterday when I visited Adobe's offices in San Francisco. Things like: 1. It will chew up battery. 2. It will crash or be buggy. 3. It doesn't work with touch interfaces. 4. It won't perform well enough. They take on each of these complaints about Adobe Flash and explain what has changed with the Flash 10.1 player. Continue reading article...
