Guess what? I’ve already uninstalled that and the Wall Street Journal and New York Times apps are next. They suck.

With More Flash, Is Google About To Cut Off The HTML5 Nose To Sp
January 4, 1976 January 24, 1980, NASDAQ:AAPL Started by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Ronald Wayne, Apple has expanded from computers to consumer electronics over the last 30 years, officially changing their name from Apple Computer, Inc. to Apple, Inc. in January 2007.

So for those keeping track, Adobe plans to have versions of Flash 10.1 for Android, BlackBerry, Symbian, webOS and Windows Mobile by next year. But keep an eye on the Open Screen Project and Flash’s move beyond handsets and PCs in the coming months. The iPhone is awesome, but getting the full web experience on your set-top box or TV is something that represents a far bigger opportunity. Related research and analysis from GigaOM Pro:

Goss reports, “…It is clear that the web giants are not rushing to defend Adobe from the might of Apple, and that in itself speaks volumes.” Full article here . “Opera’s product analyst Phillip Grønvold believes that support for Flash is critical at the current time, but that times are changing fast as HTML5 moves closer,” Goss reports.

Flash Builder 4 includes support for Adobe's still beta Flash Catalyst rapid UI design tool, which, along with Flex 4 , will enable designers to work on the front-end independently of back-end development. It also allows connecting to a number of back-end environments, including PHP, Java, Adobe's LiveCycle, as well as the aforementioned ColdFusion. Support for accessing REST and SOAP-based Web services—a must in today's cloud-based environments—is also included.

Enabling innovation doesn’t require magic. It requires open platforms. Apple understood this with the Mac OS. Remember the original Macintosh advertisements? On a Mac, any developer can build any app they want, and deliver it through any channel.

The site has been live for less than 24 hours and only has been promoted by about 30 tweets, 300+ signatures in a few hours is nothing to be upset about. I am sure over the next few days their will be more. I like my iPhone and I may get a iPad, but I have moved to palms webOS platform so that I can develop for the phone I use the most. Palms hardware is much more user controlable than any of apples mobile hardware at the moment and by the end of February it will be running flash. If Adobe can get flash running well without hurtting the battery life on the Pre which is almost the same hardware as the iPhone 3GS then the road block is Apple.

@ppk That’s sort of what is happening with mobile web vs. native mobile apps, except app stores don’t extend the browser, they replace it. @slauriat “best viewed in X” was not as bad as “buy another phone”, which is what we got for letting the web go to shit so apps could rise. @ppk Yes, exactly. I’d rather developers had forced users to launch different browsers instead of making watered down x-browser sites. @ppk As someone who has tried to do both cutting edge native and web iPhone apps, iPhone Safari is a joke compared to iPhone Cocoa.
Friedman has ben working secretly on this project for the last six months. You can tell he’s excited about it. He believes the Web is finally ready to ditch Flash for documents.

HTML5 vs flash: the controversy
My take on the Flash controversy | GottaBeMobile
For example, one thing I really hate are Flash-based navigation menus. Using Flash to display content is fine. Using it to get to content is bad. The problem stems from lack of accessibility.
La solution d'Apple sera certainement compatible avec les configurations les plus exotiques. Sinon, GWT existe depuis maintenant 5 ans et fait déjà ça... C'est même l'inverse de Flash ou Silverlight, qui ne fonctionnent bien qu'avec les technos de Adobe et Microsoft. Sur le principe, c'est la même chose: l'utilisateur écrit toute la partie "client" de son appli en Java. GWT consomme ensuite ces fichiers pour générer le code javascript correspondant.
