Ahh, Adobe, bless your crooked blackened hearts:

Quote:

... And without Flash support, iPad users will not be able to access the full range of web content, including over 70% of games and 75% of video on the web.


Exactly. For Apple, that's a good thing. Why on earth would Apple want people to be playing free online games when they have their own store to run? The biggest video sites on the net can already be viewed without flash - YouTube for instance. Flash is gong away for video. YouTube is going HTML5 H.264 for everyone in their new beta. Vimeo is going the same way. How long until the others change over as well?

Adobe even mentions Disney. With Steve Jobs being the largest shareholder, I think they too may eventually leave Flash behind.

Adobe's argument is like Microsoft complaining that they can't install Internet Explorer or Windows on the iPad. If Adobe wants to make some cash, there's significant opportunities here for mobile versions/interpretations of their popular apps. Sounds like they're pissed that the primary reason for their acquisition of Macromedia is slowly sliding into the toilet.

Oh, if anyone watches the video you'll also notice something missing. No mention of McGrawHill. I wonder why? wink
