I wouldn't blame them even if they did. Apple basically declared war in deciding not to carry flash on the iPad. However, 'sabotaging' HTML5 just seems like sensationalist tripe.
- metatronscube 17y agoIs Windows not doing the same with their new smartphone OS? Everyone should be declaring war on Adobe.
- statictype 17y agoTo be fair, Apple isn't really waging war on Adobe. They simply decided that it wasn't in their best interest to support Flash on their devices. The war is being waged mostly by the fanboy contingent
- ThomPete 17y agoIsn't streaming video pretty processor intensive too?
- mcav 17y agoNot when you have a hardware H264 chip.
- potatolicious 17y agoWell, that's just it - HTML5 video will allow Apple to make whatever optimizations necessary to keep power consumption to a minimum. If video is wrapped inside an opaque Flash container, a huge chunk of Apple's user experience is now squarely in Adobe's hands; this isn't confidence-inspiring given the general stability and performance of the current Mac Flash app.
- ThomPete 17y agoThere is quite a big difference here. Adobe allows for interaction with the video. Apple QT is just that... video.
