Get flash to fully experience Pearltrees
Reading all the comments for, against, and otherwise on Adobe Flash on mobile devices have been quite enlightening. I am mostly ambivalent about it, which is why I haven’t come out with a solid position yet. But since everyone else has shared, it’s only fair that I reciprocate. Flash, Silverlight or other, they’re all plug-ins. Flash is the most popular, but the concept is the same: a separate application running in your browser to view and use content. This is fine for forms of content that cannot be displayed correctly or adequately within a browser.

Why Not Flash?

Adobe is lazy, there are still a lot of bugs in flash. I would say who work hard wo own the honour. by Feb 11
For a long time?
Monday, 25 January 2010 In my “ Tablet Musings ” piece two weeks ago, I speculated that Apple’s imminent tablet probably won’t support Flash, for all the same reasons the iPhone doesn’t. Reaction to this was polarized — typically either “duh, of course it won’t” or “no way, it has to support Flash”. You can see both reactions represented in the thread on my piece at Hacker News .Due to a decline?
Can Flash be saved?
UPDATE: for a good counterpoint to this blog, see my new post titled “Google +will+ save Flash.” Let’s go back a few years to when Firefox was just coming on the scene. Remember that? I remember that it didn’t work with a ton of websites. Things like banks, ecommerce sites, and others.UPDATE: for a good counterpoint to this blog, see my new post titled “Google +will+ save Flash.” Let’s go back a few years to when Firefox was just coming on the scene.

The video, which is embedded below shows the New York Times being accessed from the iPad. What is interesting is that two sections of the NY Times website - Travel and Video are built on Flash. Despite this, the iPad demoed on the video does not show any difficulty in rendering Flash. Apple has quickly replaced the video with a more accurate version to avoid further speculations by removing Flash content from the video.
Decision taken anyway...
After a big public announcement of the sort Apple had this week for the iPad CEO Steve Jobs often takes time in the day or two afterwards to have a Town Hall at One Infinite Loop, making himself available for questions from employees bold enough to stand up and take one right between the eyes. This time, the big topics included Google and Adobe — no surprises there. Google recently unveiled its own Android-powered handset, the Nexus One, whose release Jan. 5 prompted Jobs to perhaps over-react by announcing on the same day that the iTunes store had served up three billion apps and that “… we see no signs of the competition catching up any time soon.” Apple’s billionth iPhone app download was greeted with great fanfare , but the two billionth not so much , so it felt a tad like Jobs was feeling some heat.

From The Associated Press: “Federal regulators plan to examine whether Apple Inc. is violating antitrust rules by requiring software developers to use Apple programming tools to create applications for the iPhone and iPad. … Apple’s policy prevents developers from using outside tools such as Adobe Systems Inc.’s Flash format.”

Don’t hold your breath waiting for the iPhone to support Adobe’s Flash software: Apple’s terms-of-service agreement prohibits it. Although Adobe says it is working on a version of its popular Flash player for the iPhone, Apple is unlikely ever to permit it to appear in the handset’s App Store, no matter how much customers want it. “I’m pretty skeptical that Flash could be implemented in a way that doesn’t violate the Terms of Service of the developer’s agreement,” said Bart Decrem, CEO of Tapulous, developer of the popular Tap Tap Revenge iPhone game.
