Flash Developer Explains Why Touchscreen Devices like iPad, iPhone Cannot Use Flash
There has been a lot of discussion lately over the lack of Flash support in iPhone OS. Most of the arguments presented have been about the technology being buggy, crash-prone and resource intensive. Steve Jobs has also called it a "dying technology". However, one perspective that has largely been missed...

Sorry for the crappy grammar/spelling.
But like really... I'm sick of going onto website and getting "this site requires flash".
Like really.. apple were not JUST asking for some flash videos/games. Just some basic flash please:(

What a load of manure. Complex and impractical?? Name your gesture or finger combo and tell users what it is.
Most of us can manage moving 2 fingers at the same time.This legion of lies is simply to stop flash applications from being mounted on web pages and cutting the App Store's profits by 99.5%.

FFS!!
We're NOT GETTING Flash!!
Deal with it!!
Go see a therapist if it's that big a headf#*k
If you wanted Flash, and you know the iPhone doesn't have it, ISN't GOING TO GET IT, then why the f#*k buy one in the first place??Tip!!
Don't buy an iPad either, you might be a little upset (BY THE LACK OF FLASH) -

Funny how people say that "every other smart phone" has it. Last time I checked "Every other smart phone" wanted to be an iPhone. Go figure...

HTML5 FTW baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I seriously think Steve disabled Flash so that we have to turn to the Appstore if we ever want to do anything interesting on the iphone...

Good rant buddy!

^ OH RLY?!

I forget, Whats the brown stuff scattered in a Matador ring called ? Oh right, BULL **** !!!

Very true. After all, if we could play flash games on sites (or even downloaded for offline), then that's 30% of that game's sales Apple won't be getting their hands on.

This makes so much sense I can't believe it never fully crossed my mind. You speak of the proximity patent but let's not forget the touch sensitive case. And why would Apple spend so much time reinventing the mouse? You could use the back of the case as a mouse pointer. Another idea would be to have a stand alone flash player much like Quicktime, equipped with touch screen settings that support different gestures.

Doesn't html5 allow you to write apps
and ads similar to flash???
If that is the case how can you accuse
apple of trying to stop these apps from
being written. The fact is no flash based
app is as slick as the ap store apps and
it up to the devs to decide how much to
charge for them. -
Do you know how VERY SMALL the revenue from applications is as a % of Apple's revenue? I don't know the number, but I know they don't give a sh*t about their app store revenue, they just want to complement the iPhone the best they can. Hence, this is not a good argument.
