Thoughts On Flash

posted April 29, 2010 #

Steve Jobs throws down the gauntlet regarding Apple\'s stance on Adobe Flash. You can read his take on the topic here. He doesn\'t really seem to be holding back any punches:
Flash was created during the PC era – for PCs and mice. Flash is a successful business for Adobe, and we can understand why they want to push it beyond PCs. But the mobile era is about low power devices, touch interfaces and open web standards – all areas where Flash falls short.

...

New open standards created in the mobile era, such as HTML5, will win on mobile devices (and PCs too). Perhaps Adobe should focus more on creating great HTML5 tools for the future, and less on criticizing Apple for leaving the past behind.
It\'s not too scathing but he does basically put his foot down on the subject. I wonder if Adobe will officially respond?

What is it you're looking for?
