True, but I think it's a matter of the paths of least resistance. Let's say there's a 80/20 split, between what is really easy or quick or fun --some subjective measure of "better"-- to do on the console vs what you need a general purpose c

I don't think so, the dock works well for "frequently used", which is not the same as "recently used".

The screenshot shows PHP, and it's conceivable that you could work entirely with remote files by keeping a local copy in sync, so you'd just preview in Safari... Not that the whole idea appeals to me, but I'm just sayin, if you were on a mi

Consoles are what people seem to want. "Just works" is more appealing than "can work".

Impressive, it's currently at the top for every country (for Free Apps). I guess that's what a very public review process will do for you.

People who aren't in that 5% don't know what Android is. Well, people who aren't techies and don't have some involvement in the industry, anyway.

I figured the iPad wasn't widescreen because it doesn't work well vertically.

True, but you could probably pick them up OTA in that case.

> Download an audio file of Ben Long doing a dramatic reading of this article (MP4, 10 MB). Nice touch. I'd also like to hear it in Shatner.

The point isn't that it doesn't degrade, it seems to do that fine, the point is they did an entire webpage as a Flash movie, duplicating the scrollbar, all the page text... it's a complete disaster.

ClickToFlash behaves as if Flash is installed and working, it just prevents it from being displayed. In other words, you will always see that gray 'Flash' box with ClickToFlash instead of getting any no-flash fallback content that may be se

Does not require Flash (Chrome seems to be directed to HTML), but if you have Flash you will see the entire page is a Flash swf (except some people aren't seeing it, but it seems that most are).

I was thinking the failure for Chrome was UA-sniffing related, but it could be a/b testing as well.

Mhm, do you have Flash installed? I just tested in IE (in VMWare) and it gave me the flash page. edit: maybe a/b testing?

Interesting, Chrome is directed to an HTML page, but Safari and Firefox show a full-page swf (which is piss slow to load, and clunky as hell). It's not just the form though, it's the whole page. They have even replaced the browser scrollba

Still not enough to imply migration , unless we see App Store submissions drop significantly in unison. I should say, it's inevitable that the Android Market will surpass the App Store in scale (and install base), but the 3.3.1 change by A

If the spike happened in April it would undoubtedly have been attributed to the new iPhone SDK terms.

I've heard the "no Flash hardware acceleration under Linux" repeated a lot but can't find any concrete info.. could you elaborate?

> So, which one is it... is the video beautiful or stally and sputtery? I'm assuming that Flash video is stally and sputtery, but other formats are beautiful.
