As many above comments already mentioned, there are contents can be run on touch-based UI, and the iPad is one of them. Since iPad was designed to be mobile PC, somewhat cheaper than laptop, but better then netbook, it suppose to have better performance or some solution to run the flash. That’s what I think, at least. Most of the websites that aren’t English-based use quite a lot of ActiveX and Flash. And, unfortunately I speak not only English but other 4 languages as well. -Damn, I guess now Jobs’ going to say English prevails or something-

I hope 4.0 or 4.1 for iPad supports flash somehow, or iPad 2.0 will. iPad’s performance was greatly overpassed my personal expectation, but in comparison to iPhone, it is unreasonable to just stay in 1Ghz Core.

P.S. If Jobs had put better CPU in it, it could probably run the flash without any problem.

That is awesome. I’m putting that on a poster.

“Personal insults are only made by stupid people, stinky mcstink-face. You’re momma is huge.”

So you provided one hypothetical and one real life version where Flash was needed. Well done you. I’ve not needed Flash for anything during the last couple of years of abandoning it. So I slightly outweigh your one real life example. You don’t score any for the hypothetical one because I’ve got millions of those.

As for tech speeds, yes they do always get bigger, but the demands that software/hardware/users/businesses place on them is always increasing. Difficult to number but there is a lot of cancelling out there.

“All Adobe has to do …” still waiting since 2007 for them to do it.

And name calling is beneath any sentient being who doesn’t need their mom to dress them every morning.

For mobile phones – flash is not a necessity.

Don’t mind if I do….

I am also thinking Steve Jobs will finally announce the iPad 2 which will have a front facing camera, expandable storage, you can dual boot into Android, it runs Flash and he will demo all of this. Then laugh and tell everyone that they’ll never get one laugh maniacally and do a tap dance on it.

Unfortunately, I have a software background and I find it extremely difficult to provide a patent for something others have been doing long before the Mac or Windows ever existed. The big difference being the more sophisticated look and feel. The courts are going to have to take a very thorough look at some of these patents because they just do not make sense.

I get that you have a partnership with Bodega, and are trying to encourage people to try out and use the app, but I still prefer to look at the actual developer’s web site to inform myself about the software. What if I were browsing this from an iOS device e.g.?

True, but maybe MS is already licensed to do so.

Incidentally I saw a dude wearing a full face of makeup in a MAC store, Last time I went into an Apple store to buy my last Mac I saw a tranny….

Getting Flash wasnt about playing games. There are whole websites out there that you can’t use without some sort of flash technology and these Android devices have that!

What am I trying to say here? If you want the whole web, get an Android device but if you only want what papa jobs tells you that you can have get an iPhone.

Now think about this, if you walk into some place that has a Blockbuster Kiosk and you’re 6 people deep, in line, but you notice the movie you want is in… Well, with Android you can quickly jump on that phone and reserve it before the others can rent it. Yes I know a PC can do this but you’re not always in front of a PC.

Another experience I had, looking at certain Motorcycle manufacturers websites required flash and can’t see them on my iPad but I can on my incredible!

Anyway, it is obvious you guys take this as a failure but remember these devices are setup to succeed because we all know that these phones are getting faster (1.6 GHz and dual core will be here by January) and will run the software well in the future… As for the mouse features, all adobe has to do is set the interpreter to recognize mobile devices and change what things like a mouse over do…

So the point is that you really shouldn’t trumpet somebody else’s efforts because your preferred device manufacturer failed to even try.

I am not totally convinced by explanation that Apple must charge customers for update, since then Apple could just charge $1 for it.

It wouldn’t allow corporations to legally add features to products that have already been purchased. So Apple couldn’t add features for free. They had to charge something for them or be fined.

Thankfully, these accounting rules have been modified so there is no longer that penalty.

But I agree it confused a lot of owners who weren’t also accountants or lawyers

And while the Newton was a masterpiece of engineering, it was too ahead of its time, it took the iPhone to bring the Newton to the masses.

Who knew the “table bug” was caused by not running in 64-bit mode on a multi-processor intel rig.

How about liquid metal Dobros?

A new breed of i device with the surface area just a little larger than the neck of a guitar and the ability to be used as a guitar, xylophone, saxophone, piano keyboard among other things

Imagine the beer drinking apps you could make on that
