iPhone users to suffer consequences of Apple’s discontent with Flash
March 5, 2008
Apple seems to leave out Adobe’s Flash application at its upcoming iPhone software presentation, writes Dan Frommer in a Silicon Alley Insider story. He brings about a report by Dow Jones which quotes Steve Jobs saying that “Adobe hasn’t created a version of Flash that’s suitable for the iPhone.”
Dropping a flash application in iPhone software suit would mean that “iPhone users [will] have to settle for a less-complete version of the Web,” Frommer writes, unless Apple finds a substitute.
Yet, some users see the time for mobile Flash “battery-sucking ad banners” far-fetched. “It is in Apple’s DNA to only go with good technology,” a reader comments, referring to an alternative to Adobe’s Flash, Microsoft’s Silverlight, “not to compromise user’s experience. Having said that, I’m in no hurry for Flash, either. CPU (and battery)-sucking banner ads? No thanks,” the comment reads.
