Sonist, I'm guessing you don't work with technology or you'd know that neither Flash nor a full JVM environment are well suited to run on mobile processors. Both are extreme resource hogs in terms of CPU time and memory used. I know you don't believe anything Job because you dislike the man, but there are technical merits behind his reasons for not implementing either on the iPlatform. Oh, and his wanting to diversify, well, what smart company wouldn't? There's a saying,
don't put all your eggs in one basket. Apple almost went under a few years ago because of that (relying on Mac hardware and OS as their only means of income), as a stockholder in Apple, I'm sure glad they aren't making that mistake any longer.
@tamara and life, thanks for the kind words.. and life, the person you're arguing with isn't worth the effort, just put him on ignore as I did. only reason sonist hasn't made my list yet is he makes me laugh.. "rights to install software.." still has me chuckling.
