Buh buh but the Apple Haters said that we were missing out on the entire web by getting an iPad.
Oh yes I'm sure the million plus iPad users are just CRYING in their sleep over the missing flash ads, decreased battery life, and horrible overall performance that they were spared by Apple and Jobs.
Johnny you're the only one sounding stupid here...lmao
Desperate to the last.
The new rallying point for the Apple Haters? The Evo 4G...we'll see how this so called "iPhone killer" does in reviews and more importantly how it does in the marketplace.
Already Sprint has set it up for failure by not marketing it properly.
@Johnny Rockets But, they ARE coming, no? Native development will always result in a best user experience, plain and simple. Hulu's desktop app for OSX and Windows is a great example. On the mobile side, you have apps like MLB At Bat, which are far superior to their flash counterparts.
I'm not sure why there are so many users that are pro flash. It basically makes programming across multiple platforms easier, but results in a sub-standard user experience because the developer has to code for the lowest common denominator.
Don't really feel like getting caught up in this but... hey, its whatever. Personally, I'm not necessarily pro flash... I feel like Adobe needs to get their act together and fix... well... a lot. But concerning these filler apps (and this is just one out of many points I feel like stressing at the moment) you have to pay for a lot of them. Not all... but a good many. and PAYING for an experience that you can get absolutely free through your desktop/laptop/netbook is to me... absurd. Remember the Engadget article? http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/editorial-ipad-prices-are-out-of-control-and-will-kill-us-all/
Just that pic alone speaks volumes in what a lot of people are in for if they plan on replacing some (if not all) of their favorite flash based websites with their iPad/iPhone counterparts. Its ludicrous... and I for one have no intention of falling for it. Just my two cents =)
@TheLondonExchange Get used to ads because HTML5 pop up ads are starting to surface. If HTML5 is truly an alternative to Flash it is just going to get used in the same ways.
As an iPhone user, I feel I am missing out on a lot of advanced web content that could be delivered specifically for the devices from Flash. This is always why I am making the change to an Android device.
And please retire the battery argument. They are redesigning Flash specifically for the mobile platform so this won't happen. Just because Steve Jobs says that it will reduce battery life, doesn't mean it will. Even then, with your logic Apple should block games because they are more hardware intensive and take a toll on your battery.
@justinpe You do know that Hulu Desktop is built off of Flash right? On Windows, Mac OS, and Linux. Scroll down and read the requirements yourself. http://www.hulu.com/labs/hulu-desktop
the Nook Color proved it was an undercover tablet all along, Barnes and Noble has hit back with this latest Nook as proof of its focus on one thing: reading.

@TheLondonExchange
Shhh, sarcasm is lost on them.
@TheLondonExchange
Uh... Without these apps (which are not released yet), you *ARE* missing out on a huge part of the web.
That's kind of the whole ENTIRE reason they need to make these apps.
Did you mean for your post to sound that stupid or did it just come out that way?
@Johnny Rockets
I can tell you that you come out sounding very stupid!.
