davidd thinks Jan 31, 2010 02:39AM the lack of Flash support would be a significant problem. I don't understand the conflict between Apple and Adobe. Clarification, anyone?
davidd asks Jan 31, 2010 02:40AM isn't Apple supposed to be THE platform for "media" people? And isn't Flash pretty much THE medium of choice for much of the internet...
davidd hopes Jan 31, 2010 02:41AM somebody comes up with a solution for what seems to me to be a stupid situation.
halophoenix says Jan 31, 2010 02:43AM the problem is that Adobe and Apple are at each other's throats over mobile platforms. Adobe hates mobility and Apple is control-freakish.
halophoenix says Jan 31, 2010 02:44AM Apple isnt the only one in Adobe's sights. It's so bad that MS built SilverLight, and Google is...working on it.
halophoenix says Jan 31, 2010 02:46AM hardly. there's really no good guy, honestly. there's plenty of blame to go around.
halophoenix says Jan 31, 2010 02:47AM Apple could modify the iphone OS code to support the desktop flash plugin, or build a container to play FLV, but...
halophoenix says Jan 31, 2010 02:47AM they're bullheaded, and say they'd rather give their users no flash experience than a possibly bad one.
halophoenix says Jan 31, 2010 02:49AM that's why they and Google agreed to embed m4v videos at youtube...lets you take youtube with you.
halophoenix Jan 31, 2010 02:52AM meanwhile video providers scramble to find or build fast transcoders for mobile playback. interface designers wait patiently.
♥.zannah. says Jan 31, 2010 04:00AM ryouga42 had some good background on the lack of Flash in one of neonepiphany's plurk's a few days ago, but I can't find it right now.
I should have remembered that one, I was all over it.
