my point is, why
should apple care about adobe running flash on their platform any more than apple care about windows applications running on their platform? apple != adobe. apple != microsoft. adobe flash is a parasite that runs on many platforms at the whim of that platform's creators. apple chose not to allow flash. adobe can cry foul all they want (or publish "i love advertisements" as they just recently did) but at the end of the day, the iPad is apple's platform to do with as they see fit. it's not mine. it's not yours and it certainly isn't adobe's. microsoft wrote silverlight, they could pull the plug on flash
at any time and you think they haven't considered it? just look at the ie 9 h.264 announcement. that was a light warning shot to adobe,
"don't screw with us or we can pull an Apple too."
as i've said before. the best thing anyone can do (besides write
sjobs@apple.com) is to simply vote with their
dollars. the ipad doesn't meet your needs. don't buy one. buy a device that
does meet your needs. encourage and reward the company that does create the product that does meet your needs. sitting around crying that the ipad doesn't meet your needs isn't going to change it to make it so.
