Christ. I think I'm starting to see the editor's point about apple being a wolf in sheep's clothing.
Flash, like it or not, is industry standard for illegally watching football. So fuck apple, and fuck their stupid massive iphone.

Yes they seem to have fallen well short of what people were expecting in the ebook distribution department.
This combined with the seeming lack of 3G and a few other omissions is indeed likely to result in quite a wave of disappointment.
Price even more important now.
A giant ipod touch was all I really needed to meet my minimum desires so Im not gutted, but this event has not thus far made it any easier to judge whether the tablet format is going to achieve mass success via Apple.

Whats that supposed to mean
It means people could develop apps with flash and get them onto the iphone without going through apples app store, thus bypassing apples control freakery and an important revenue stream.
As a developer who likes open standards and free dev tools, I want flash (and silverlight) to fade away and apples control freakery happens to serve that end, its not their primary intent and obviously there is a hideous downside but it just happens to serve an open browser based html & css agenda that I welcome.

Saying its a OS by proxy is a really weird way to describe that!
There is already other methods available other than writing in objective-c and distributing through the app store. Which apple have demonstrated they dont have an issue with, so I dont understand the point that your trying to make.

Well I wouldnt go quite that far, and I did already mention many other reasons that Apple arent keen to bring flash to these devices.
Before the app store apple did promote the idea of people writing webapps, these were the only option when the iphone first launched, and they were not enough to make people happy, although they work fine for certain applications.
Anyway the bitching about lack of flash went on for ages after iphone launch so I thought most people had gotten over it.
Already stated that I am biased because I want to see flash largely eliminated from the web within 5-10 years.

I agree with you, right now my money is on HTML5 to do it.

Is there an app for that?
Hmm watching this awful sounding feed, someone just blew their nose.
