I love how a bunch of long time apple supporters (level 3,4,5,6,7,8,9 etc... ) can't stand the notion that perhaps Apple may have done something wrong when they decided not to allow Flash on their devices.

The Flash Player works on jailbroken devices; yet, Apple supporters still claim that it's not possible, and it's all because of Adobe? Get real. Adobe has said they would bring out a player for the IPad as soon as Apple said it was Okay; yet, as Apple doesn't want it on their systems, as they don't want competition with their appstore, they have blocked Adobe from doing so.

All of this denial is coming from longtime Apple supporters that are biased, in the minority, and possibly paid trolls imho.

That is untrue, your user ID dates from Jan 7, 2012.

Now i reply directly to phaisto that started this thread January 16th 2011, almost one year ago. I do not think that what since happened here is anything he / she intended. Please have some respect to the person that owns this thread. All of you - pro or contra this or that - behave like small kids and you should try to find other sandboxes to fight in.

This has become so personal and full of paranoia on both sides.

People will not like to post their techinal issues in here after studying such a playground like this. Apple ought to take more ownership and show some responsibility simply by stopping you and maybe locking the worst of you out of this forum - whatever you support Apple or not in this so called discussion.

Shame on you!

What makes you believe that any one person "owns" a thread?

Dear Philliy_Phan!

If you do not understand my post, then I say so sorry that maybe I should have used the word "start" instead of "own". Now I hope this will become a topic for another discussion.

I would of course say: Now I hope this will NOT become a topic for another discussion.

If you fear that, don't post.

Sorry, I must be fair. I meant: ;-)

Flash on mobile devices is officially dead. Read Adobe's own announcement:

Let's be totally honest here.

The only reason any Apple product owner would ever bash Flash, or claim it to be not-needed is simply because their device does not support it.

Because Flash exists and you have no way of viewing it, is the real problem here, your upset that content is out there that you can not access, therefore you want the platform it is displayed in dead, so that the content must be created in a way in which you can see it too.

This is why you bash android and say Flash on ALL mobile ***** even though it is far from the truth. You can not stand to be excluded, you are an apple cultist, your entire reason for buying into Apple in the first place is to be "included", so how dare an industry now try and exclude you from something.

So you wish for Flash to die, and the world to use something Apple acceptable, you've been waiting 5 years, now on your 3rd apple device and yet the world has not yet bent, Flash content still exists, I understand your frustration.

However, while you wait, and blame everyone else for why your excluded, the reality is that the product you bought into is the only thing actually excluding you from anything.

So go on with your Flash war, wish for it's demise, talk bad about the platform, and pray it goes away before you buy yet another release of your idevice, and add to your pile of outdated hardware you now keep in a drawer. The rest of the world acknowledges that Flash does exist, that it is not going away anytime soon, and does offer content that is of value to users.

Flash on mobile is far from dead, just ask RIM, who has agreed to continue developing the flash player for their devices. Or ask Qualcomm, who has agreed to continue supporting the platform on it's mobile devices.

You can think and wish for what you want, but the reality is that there is content on the web in which you can not access, and it just plain upsets you, and you need Flash to die before your "yet another" new apple device is thrown into the drawer with the rest.

Good luck on your crusade, I'll be watching it via my flash enabled mobile device for many years to come.
