Apple is different now. If a consumer is presented two products with the same price, which will he choose?
The shiniest one with the cool logo.

Hmmm, even the companies that already support Flash fully on their phones are moving to HTML5 Web runtimes for that kind of app/widget....
Which makes the released standard useless for well over half of what Flash is used for. Its like Microsoft releasing a DirectX standard but doesn't release the part that interacts with the Kernel and Drivers.
...which is the very big reason to keep supporting Flash (as opposet to HTML5 only), according to YouTube/Google.
The bottom line is: the 'open spec' Flash is no better than the video tag.
DO you actually know what OPEN means? Just curious.![]()
...Yet Apple has been mum about supporting it... ...and Apple refusing to support it ...
Meanwhile the consumer can get Android phones from tens of thousands of stores around the world, and Symbian phones from hundreds of thousands of stores...
50% of sites using Flash somehow use the DRM server ? Really ?![]()
And the DRM server is as uselful as interacting with the kernel ? So really, Gnash doesn't work at all going by your indications, because if DirectX couldn't talk to the drivers, nothing would come out of your speakers or show up on screen.
Seriously, why do you post up such ridiculous comments is beyond me.
Flash is a closed source product. Adobe needs to acknowledge that they bought a dying product and cut losses. While flash has its uses still - html 5...
Grow up Adobe. Accept that you've been rejected, and move on.
Considering most flash sites containing flash are video sites or used for advertising, then yes.
GDI doesn't require DirectX or Drivers to work.
Believe in open system? Nothing is more closed that adobe flash. Make it open source and then speak.
You mean like iOS?
I don't think anyone is under the illusion that iOS is open source. What's your point?
Maybe you should actually read the message I was responding to before you make an ignorant comment.
I didn't know the video tag could do programmable vector graphics that can be used for animations/menus/interactive content/games. Oh right it can't.
I did read the message you responded to. It was true.
The open standard alternative to Flash that people are discussing is HTML5 and related technologies. Not iOS.
Wheras Apple would rather focus on people who want to deliver the best experience with video, for which Flash could once have been an option, but Adobe's serial failure to deliver quality software in realistic timescales has made irrelevant.
Grow up Adobe. Accept that you've been rejected, and move on.

Why would you use the video tag for something the canvas tag does so well?
You know animations/interactive content/games...
Use the right tool for the job, if you must use Flash or Silverlight where DRM'ed content is needed.
Hmm I smell a repeat in history![]()
Yes. If Apple would admit they're a software company and not a hardware company, they could win the war, and not just a few battles.
