This seems ridiculous to me, it's almost as if the thought of using say... some sort of User-Agent to identify and differentiate the experience of the software

This seems ridiculous to me, it's almost as if the thought of using say... some sort of User-Agent to identify and differentiate the experience of the software is just well too simple to consider?
- mambodog 17y agouhh... actually that is covered: "A) The best case: every Flash app on every site is re-thought by its designers and re-coded by its programmers (if they’re even still available), just for touchscreens. They wouldn’t use mouseovers any more—or else they’d have dual versions of all Flash content, so that mouse users could still benefit from the mouseovers they are used to. That’s a ton of work across the Web, for thousands of parties, and just isn’t going to happen. Plus, with many sites, mouseovers are so fundamental that the very concept of the site would be altered, creating a whole different experience that would annoy and confuse the site’s existing users. (And would this be any easier than simply re-designing without Flash at all? Not always.)"
- m_eiman 17y agoYou'd still need to re-implement a significant part of each and every Flash app/game. Many of them would require a totally new UI and interaction model.
