Only because of the restrictions set by Apple, Adobe Flash works fine on my Archos tablet

Then make the most of it, as Adobe are not going to update it. It's your last chance.

How much longer are these nonsense posts going to continue?

They are only nonsense posts to people who dont use flash based websites.

Apple blame battery life and processor hogging, yes thats maybe true for flash games, but not flash video, they simply dont like a company and try to wipe it out, look at all the stupid petty goings on with Samsung and HTC

Adobe have stopped mobile flash development

It doesn't matter at all who uses or doesn't use Flash based websites. It doesn't matter at all what Apple blames for what, or who Apple "likes", or what companies Apple are "trying to wipe out", or what is going on between Apple and Samsung and HTC.

Adobe have given up development of Flash for all mobile platforms. Not Apple. Adobe.

Learn to live with it.

Adobe Flash will soon go away on all mobile devices as Adobe has stepped up and agreed with Apple that it requires too much from mobile processors.

" look at all the stupid petty goings on with Samsung and HTC"

Defending patents is "stupid petty"?

It really doesnt bother me now, I have my iphone4 which will be my last apple product.

what gets me is the fanboys blaming Adobe, when they know Apples restrictions ment it was impossible for adobe to get flash to work on iOS

And?

What's your point?

You will soon not be able to get Flash on any phone.

have you read some of the things?? could have made it less rectangular, could have been made without curved corners? its a tablet how different can one make it.

Its like a car manufacturer not been able to make a car with 4 doors because someone else did it first!

Its petty and childish

My point is Im not bothered, the iPhone is far too restricted, Boring UI and quiet frankly there are much better phones out there that are not restricted, my friends samsung phone make my iPhone look years old, so my next upgrade Im done with with Apple

"so my next upgrade Im done with with Apple"

Good!

Better to get something you want instead of spending money then complaining about it.

Why not sell your iPhone now and use the money to get your new Samesung and save yourself further grief from using antiquated, boring, restricted hardware/software?

Then use the extra cash left over after purchasing your new phone to pay for a few months of your cell service and go to dinner?

As well as the fact that flash is battery consuming and quite unstable. Apple has done well to not implement it, and the rest is now following in suit 🙂

Tell me one thing, can you name one android device which has up to date software, which is nearly 3 years old? Or even 2 years old?

The iPhone 3GS, although introduced nearly 3 years back, still runs iOS 5, and quite well at that. Meanwhile, the Nexus, released in 2010, doesn't run the latest Google OS. Even the SGS2, barely months old, is on the verge of being left behind in manufacturing updates.

Now, thats pretty sad, don't you think? Kudos to Apple for good product support, and quality products manufactured.

"I'm waiting for the Microsoft win8 tablet and hope apple allows a change of OS like it did for Mac."

Microsoft Windows 8 will not support Adobe Flash. Sorry (sort of).

I have been following this Thread for quite sometime now.. I don't really know why because it is pointless. I have seen arguments over the dumbest stuff. Bottom line is that you cannot do flash on iPhone, iPads, iPods. iPeriod. You can jailbreak etc. However, REALLY why? Buy a device that suits your needs and stop trying to force devices that don't support your needs to do so.

Bringing me to, i-anything compared to Android. Attacks on either product is Stupid. They are two totally different things! One is not better than the other. APPLES and ORANGES!! They each have their strong qualities it just depends, ONCE AGAIN, what your needs are and what you want to do. My husband loves his iphone. He doesn't to mess around with lots of customizing. It serves his needs right out of the box. I like it.. I am a fiddler sort of person, I like the customization that Android offers. Get the one that you will use the best and meets your needs and stop whining about what it won't do for you. This is the most foolish thread I have ever watched. Soon and VERY soon.. I am going to receive nothing from it. UGH.. I can't stand it. the question has been answered so many times!! IT IS RIDICULOUS!

I just saw a Samsung galaxytab advertisement on tv. emphasising you can play sites using flash on it. Once people understand what this means they will stop buying ipads. (I knowhow i will, i cant even watch pictures on my kid's school site)
