What a great machine ipad could be if:


Could read flash player That Is Not Dead. In finance lots of sites use flash.


Could have microsoft office


Could i be able to put a code to protect my photos. It is so incompetent tha even someone that does not know my password when we turn on the ipad can watch the photos


the most important bug is that when i type a password in sites each letter i type appears instead of a dot, and only after the dot appears


could i use a sd card

Apple is not able to respond to a technology like Flash, after 4 or more years, all we are not able to implement in their devices is an efficient flash functionality.

Years ago it was thought that by misuse of the designers and doing things without a proper tool debuggin and testing, flash now has more possibilities that the devices, while manufacturers like Apple are dedicated to making tools soft technologies such as HTML5 limited because Ecma languages

In a couple of years for the devices generate the same problems today with Flash, the issue is how far will be able to evolve, because the new iPhone 4s showed that despite Apple proposed lot for 2011, it fell to 10% of expectations ...

I think that the only way to be able to run flash, as an element in two years to ensure that teams are unable to support HTML5 developments will.

Congratulations, you are the 100,000th person to post this, you will be entered in the draw for an as yet undeveloped prize, you will be informed as to the time of the draw 🙂

I have been asked to advise a board on how many new systems to purchase and what kinds of systems they should be. Now I am very objective, despite the fact that I have an iphone which fell apart in less than 2 years, and I have always resented that Apple will not allow Flash on their devices because they don't want to allow any real competition to their app store; yet, aside from what I have mentioned there are many real business concerns.


I can't overlook that many of the applications for CRM, voice/video chat through the browser, white board conferencing in the browser, and online production all involve Flash to a very high degree. This is stuff you cannot do in HTML5, and it will take years until browsers have anywhere near the same level of support.


I would also like to mention that I cannot overlook the poor performance browsers supporting HTML5 happen to have on older systems. Open education initiatives in countries where a 633Mhz pentium 3 is the norm, cannot make any real use of HTML5 and it's canvas tag; however, flash performs lightening fast.


We have roughly 150 phones on contract that need upgrading, and 85 tablet systems that were requested I will be advising we choose the Android route.


I would also like to mention, that I can develop pretty well in any language you through at me (given a couple days to get my bearings); yet, I find Objective-c ugly ugly ugly.....ugly. Apple claims to be concerned about openness and performance, but they force people to pay for the right to develop on a system they paid for? That's not openness, a cash grab, and by forcing them to use your computer systems to do it, that's anti-competitive.

Not a single of your 'objective facts' is factually correct or represents any real level of understanding of the issues.


Adobe stopped developing Flash for any and all mobile platforms, including Android, and are moving their resources away from Flash on the desktop, too.


Face up to reality. Flash is dead. And you're a troll. Go somewhere else.

Actually Adobe is reinvesting in AIR developement; for, it enables distrobution of more than just flash AS3 applications, but also HTML5 too, and adds value to their creative suite tool set.


Air on the desktop is just starting to get interesting.


Flash is able to do so much more than HTML5 right now, and it's performance is far better, and only improving.


In truth I can't wait till all browsers have Flash's capabilities built in; yet, until then I will have to use Flash, and we will have to purchase systems that use it too.


As most of your messages happen to be pro apple, or in aid of someone using an apple product, I think you are the troll. Maybe even paid to troll? hmmm. If not, you are really just waisting your time sucking up to a company that doesn't actually care about you. Two years ago I bought what is now apparently an unservicable iphone, instead of an Android. My decission was based on the fact that it had the best touch recognition performance at the time; thus, the reason I have the user account. What's your excuse?


Before you start in on it, I am not saying Adobe cares about anyone either, and in fact, I actually think they are pretty bad too; yet, at this is an Apple forum, so I b itching about Apple.
