]]> Comment on Flash? or flash in the pan? by Chris http://www.einsteinseyes.com/blog/industry-news/flash-or-flash-in-the-pan/#comment-36 Chris Tue, 04 May 2010 18:28:59 +0000 http://www.einsteinseyes.com/blog/?p=193#comment-36 I think nearly all of Apple's points are valid — however, they're missing the most important point: the users' perspective. While on the one hand, I certainly don't want my iPhone crashing and running out of battery because of Flash; on the other hand, I am constantly thwarted by websites who's UI is Flash based. If I go to such a site on iPhone Safari ... nada. So, Msrs. Apple and Adobe, what about the user? Of course, as this blog pointed out in an early (perhaps even inaugural) post, that whole problem could be solved by web developers sticking with standards and doing The Right Thing. Unfortunately, while that may be true, it's not as simple as it seems. Last month Facebook surpassed Google for aggregate Internet traffic, and guess what? The majority of that traffic is generated by Facebook aps — 7 out of the top 10 of which are Flash applications. HTML5 and H.263 might be great ... for what we needed the Internet to do in 2009. Unfortunately, the world has moved on. Facebook applications are dominant, and continuing to grow. The Apple iPad has, in this authors considered belief, a legitimate chance of actually changing the way we interact with computers more than anything since the mouse. As always, standards are incapable of keeping up with demands. It's simply the nature of the beast: standardization takes too long. So, while Flash may not be the answer, there will be something proprietary that is, and Apple needs to deal with it.

Android is a completely open platform that anyone in the world can write for so the fact that it barely works there only serves to bolster Apple's arguments.

Normally I'm not one to defend Flash, but I certainly don't condone Mr. Jobs trying to have it both ways either. It sounds to me like sour grapes!
