I can understand not using Flash due to technicalities (extra power needed to run Flash based apps causing serious battery drain.)

However, I don’t understand Steve Jobs denouncing Flash as a closed system and acting high-and-mighty like the iPhone is an open system.

If you think about it – Blackberry’s Playbook is an iPad that has all the features that an iPad does and has all the features that an iPad doesn’t, including flash.

I definitely know where I would put my money.

It is very frustrating to get a message on my iPad that I cannot continue because I can’t install Adobe Flash. Please change this!!!

Watch as playbook, sony erickson, samsung build better and better phones/gui’s/7″ touch pads and Steve Jobs could blow all their socks off by allow flash on IOS devices, instead he sits in his little sand box saying “No, It’s not right… I am right” and apple’s share of the lucritive smart device could be skyrocketing, instead, truth is, it is being erroded by Playbook/Galaxy/Motorola/LG/Sony and this fool Job’s thinks he still right… watch as people eventually turn coat on Job’s sphinkster view of the world.

Steve Jobs is right in his comments regarding Flash.
But some support for flash contents (say, Safari Flash plugin for iPad) will not harm Apple but will be of much use for their customers.

Instead of telling the customer what they should or not use. Why not let the market decide for itself? If Jobs point of view is truth, then the market will leave flash, if the point of view is flawed, then the market will stay with flash.

@Jim that’s true but you can’t be afraid to evolvejust because you invented something doesnt mean someone else can’t improve upon that technology.

All that flash people are talking about do not understand IPhone runs more modern format H264 witch also runs all that flash video and pictures your losing nothing with iPhone let’s not forget if not for iPhone there would be no android since apple stared smart phone technology.
