iPad FLASHback

I have still not seen any evidence that Apple will release specifics to Adobe to allow them or anyone to develop an Adobe FLASH viewer for the iPhone or the soon to be released iPad. Many web sites use Adobe FLASH for animating their sites.

Check your iPhone if you have one. No FLASH animation as well as several other video modes that don’t work, like in Facebook. Grrrr…

 I mentioned this defect in the previous blog about the iPad. I mention it again as IMHO this is a serious defect by Apple since the iPad is touted to be the ultimate casual web browser.

I get frustrated when I play with Linux OS as there always seems to be some graphic feature that I haven’t installed to make all web sites work. It’s going to be the same frustration with the iPad.

Stay away from iPad until at least FLASH works in iPad and iPhone.
