Kick in the balls to apple!
Forums › General Discussion › Kick in the balls to apple!-
Just seen the advert for the blackberry playbook... What a massive drop kick in the ball sack to the iPad... The blackberry can use flash player! Lol there was a whole tv ad with flash Gordon music saying 'unlike 'some' other tablets... You can see things as the revs wanted them to be... Wonder if that means flash games 2..?

Flash causes things crash. That's why apple doesn't have it. The iPad is more stable. People always want what they don't have rather than enjoy what they do.

Why is Microsoft not using flash? Bc there are better technologies out there to be used.

No, I'm no fan of apples control everything culture but apple don't use flash because it is lazy bloated code that locks up memory and causes crashes and poor performance. I can only applaud apple for saying no, while everyone else wants it because it's easy.slugboy wrote:

The thing is you don't HAVE to view flash...but alot of stuff uses flash. It will only bog down your machine of you use it. So why not allow the compatability and let the consumer choose to run their system slow. I choose The ability to view flash...and expandable memory. That's why I don't buy an iPad.

A good portion of internet and video still uses flash. You're being locked out of stuff by apple.

That said, almost no portion of MY Internet is flash. Even my flash-based gallery website has an HTML5 alternative for those with updated browsers.
YouTube was the main driver for me, but now it's mostly all redone pure mp4.
Netflix is not flash.
The OLD Internet used flash because there was no video player in the browser, java was difficult for noob web developers, and multi-page data handling was tricky if all you had was cookies.
That has all been fixed. Time to move on.

(and I know that all you really care about is redtube, but there is so much flash crap in there, it requires a full CPU to crunch through all of it.) 😜

Nick told me to look at HTML 5 ages ago I've still not done it. Meanwhile I'm making thing work in ie6 at work

Seriously, what's with people going, "Ooh, Flash games!" Seriously! It gets on my nerves! It's one of the slowest programs in the history of fast commercial programs, and the games aren't even that good!

Not really blackberrys have already failed I'll always buy I devices !!!
-
75 percent of websites use flash. If I get an iPad I want flash.

I noticed a cheeky comment on adobe's website. A link I viewed on the iPad sent me to the flash install site. There it said apple didn't support flash but click here to view a range of tablets that do.
I thought that was quite funny.
My htc desire hd (prototype) supports flash and it's quick as a PC in my opinion. And mine is a frickin prototype! I don't buy into the whole it slows you down thing as I'm sure the iPad is much more advanced than my htc. -
Its quite funny how you need flash player to go on the blackberry website to look at the playbook so to view it you have to use a comp... iPad will always be better though!!!

If you discount advertisements, 1% of my websites use flash. And of those, half provide a non-flash alternative for my mobile devices.
Flash is deprecated. It's not wishful thinking. What the hell do you think HTML5 is for?
Flash is going away. There is nothing flash can do that HTML5 and java cannot do, and do it much more efficiently, securely, and without license costs.
When most browsers are HTML5, expect embedded objects for third party plugins to dwindle.

I think I opened a mini pandoras box with this one... It's all clean language though so nice thread / replies guys :-) I like what TDi said about the link to supported tablets 😜
-
Flash or no flash. Apple i devices are just better.
-
Apple won't need Flash, ever. Safari already supports HTML5 and it'll only expand as development increases. Flash is slowly but surely going to be become obsolete, Apple ain't stupid they know what they're doing.

And if you wan to talk tablets the xoon blows iPad away in all counts

I disagree, apple has a great app store, but it has limited custimization and iTunes is horrible. Plus they are overpriced.Flash or no flash. Apple i devices are just better.

I don't know chit about it, but Blackberry have got Flash Gordon music all over the TV add. So they think it's a good selling point.
-
Lots of peole still want flash. Weird that theyre making a big deal when many androids already have flash. Personally like brown said it's dying. Though it's not dead yet. I like my devices to have flash or the tome being but it's not a selling point

I was interested in buying a human tri-centipad...
