Adobe's response to Steve Jobs' regarding Flash on iPad

Why won't the iPad have Adobe Flash technology? Anup Murarka director of technology strategy and partner development for the Adobe Flash platform and Aaron Filner, group product manager of Flash platform, focusing on AIR, answer some of the reasons why Steve Jobs doesn't put Adobe Flash onto the iPad. Things like:

1. It will chew up battery.
2. It will crash or be buggy.
3. It doesn't work with touch interfaces.
4. It won't perform well enough.

They take on each of these complaints about Adobe Flash and explain what has changed with the Flash 10.1 player.

LOL Flash just crashed while I was watching this video.

Using flash to watch a video is like putting your tablet into a plastic bag when using it. Of course you can but its not efficient.

To me it seems that your fingers are not just responsible for typing but thinking as well. Have you ever considered suing your brain?

Flash Player for mobile devices is officially dead. Adobe is reaffirming its commitment to "aggressively contribute" to HTML5, a platform with broader support and capabilities than Flash was ever able to deliver.
