I'd like a little more detail on what they mean by "flawlessly." It could be that Steve's idea of "flawlessly" involves things like being thrifty with battery-hogging system resources, playing nicely with the upcoming multi-tasking in 4.0, and having a culture around writing applications that feel "native" on their host platform.
There's nothing wrong with having a different definition of "flawlessly," I'm just wondering what Adobe means.
- ptomato 17y agoExactly. I'd really like to see what sort of battery life they get out of that, for example.
- mkramlich 17y agoI suspect Adobe's definition of "flawlessly" is approximately equal to, "hey, it boots! hasn't crashed yet!"
- catch23 17y agoVista ran "flawlessly" in demo videos too... but we all know how that turned out when it was released.
- davidedicillo 17y agoI agree. Steve Jobs never said that Flash can't run on the iPhone/iPad. I'm sure he even tried prototypes for it himself. 30 seconds videos doesn't make a solid product.
- rayval 17y agoActually there are 100 apps written with Adobe's Flash compiler on the App Store, and no one has complained. That is, they seem similar to all the other apps on the App Store: simple, quickly written, drain battery life, crash often. Just like native Objective C apps :)
- bruceboughton 17y agoThey are neither Air apps nor Flash movies so are irrelevant to what Adobe are showing off here. This is about the performance of the Flash/Air runtimes, not the Flash CS5 cross-compiler. Apples != Oranges.
