I can’t put my finger on it, but this seems wrong. Browlett all over again…the guy (Lynch) just made to many stupid comments about Apple.

It just took any credibility out from you. It was already widely known in 2007 that Flash is unstable and consumes large power, making it unsuitable for use on mobile devices that had tiny batteries. These are the same reasons that Flash was dropped by all device manufacturers, not because Apple said so.

If what Apple said has so much power, Android would not have survived till today. People and companies bet with good technology, not what anyone or any company said.

Macromedia then took Flash and developed it into the powerful platform it became and Jobs was always a little pissed about this so he banned Flash from all iOS platforms and forced it out of the mobile market space as a result of Apples success with iOS products.

Look it up if you don’t believe me and I remember going to those old MacWorlds and seeing how revolutionary the software was.
