Comments on: Apple still neglects Adobe Flash on iPhone

The point everyone misses here is that flash is very slow in linux and osx and uses a ridiculous amount of CPU, as shown by the benchmarkings of Ars Technica.
Also people likes to say this or that is crap because it lacks some key functionality they need. There could be a phone with everything you may possibly need, but it would be expensive and thick as a brick.
To say iPhone is a POS when it is the best selling phone in USA in the last quarter is neglecting the reality. Independent consumers associations from several countries say apple products are first when it comes to consumer satisfaction.
Thats the truth and you may want to google a bit before fabricating your own reality.

and i neglect apple. who the fuk wants to spend hours converting video? they can keep their unfinished junk. nationite os-43 all the way for complete array of video codecs, excellent battery life, and a third the price. useless apps that drain battery, high powered old version wifi, an unfinished browser just to name a few things that discouraged me from the iCrap. its just too expensive! the 8gb should cost $100 but i guess greed will do that. I think adobe should retaliate and release updates for its apple software accordingly, meaning never. two can play at that game.

Probably not the smartest thing for Apple to be doing considering Adobe were one of the BIGGEST supporters/programmers of software for Apple in the day (and still are). Biting the hand that helps feed you is not good business sense…

The iphone seriously lacks in common functions such as copy/paste, video capture, camera settings (day/night mode, exposure, flash), and (to me) most important of all, office apps. honestly, i regret getting my phone. I should have waited for the HTC Dream or the G1. iphone FTL.

p.s. most of the apps in the app store are USELESS. its time to “jailbreak” my phone. APPLE FTL.

Apple has missed alot of things with the iphone, and never utilised the whole iphone to its full pontential and they seem to piss fart around with what they want to do, due to keeping profit margins up, the HTC touch phones are ready to rock and roll without having to wait and wait for firmware upgrades. Apple shouldn’t decide for all of us to say when we are able to use the features of the iphone when they allow us too. I want MMS now, I want better camera options (cropping) and video capture now, I want bluetooth transfer now….
Apple seems to have fallen way behind as many other company are bringing out similiar/competeting phone against the iphone they are capable to do all the things i want now! I should have waited!

Apple gave no reason as to why they rejected Adobe’s offer …

Because there’s no way to spin the following TRUTH into something that sounds reasonable:

“Sorry, we’re a greedy bastard of a corporation who doesn’t really want to serve our clients unless it means we can nickel and dime them for every App on our online store.”

WELL NONE REALLY BECAUSE YOU WERE NOT FIRST!!!

To be honest iPhone is working really great for me and the lack of flash has not meant anything for my day to day use! Sure you might miss a games but look at how much there is already in the AppStore or Cyndia (if hacked) so i dont understand the problem!
Look at other “smart” phones. How easy is it to install and find quality and good software. What apple have archived is not so little!

Ok i hate the for not having the full Bluetooth support like A2DP but give it time and i’m sure it comes but hating them for not having Flash is just stupid in my opinion. and hey they are like any company after money but who isnt???

Of course they reject, because it’s not from Apple, as they did with Mini Opera.

It should be cPhone rather than iPhone, and ‘c’ stands for communistic! =D
