The iPhone was announced over 3 years ago. Now it's 2010 and this Flash player is only in beta. It demonstrates how Adobe has struggled to deliver their software for these devices, likely due to the reasons these former employees suggest in the article.
In the meantime, Apple has delivered an excellent mobile video and HTML5 implementation, and they did it using open standards and open source.
- dougmccune 17y agoWell ok then... I wasn't saying that they did it fast or that it's released or anything of the sort. I was simply saying that the argument that a technology was first developed before the current needs of the technology is a completely bullshit argument.
- shawndumas 17y agoThe point is that HTML5 was designed for touch, accelerometers and GPS where as Flash was not.
- dougmccune 17y agoand my point was that HTML _5_ is being designed for touch, not any prior version of HTML. Just like Flash Player _10.1_ is being designed for touch, not any prior version of Flash. Saying Flash wasn't originally designed for touch, etc. is the same as saying HTML wasn't originally designed for touch, etc.
