Flash on the iPad!!!

After reading that blogs sounding seemingly certain that the iPad will not have any flash I had to do some investigating myself and this is what I came across. Hopefully Apple will allow flash video and not just advertisements.

@ComradeSlice I understand that flash is the biggest reason for crashes hence I have a Macbook myself. Hopefully that all changes with Apple's new released API. I wanted flash on iPad when I first seen it, but after it's release most sites are conforming and Hulu will soon be available so not much need for it now. I Appreciate all the comments and hope you enjoyed my first video

@bongky18 Finally, why are all these banned? It's not quality control, that's for sure. Apple wants you to only run their approved software. Don't believe me? Here's a clause from the development agreement for the iOS SDK: "No interpreted code may be downloaded or used in an Application except for code that is interpreted and run by Apple’s Documented APIs and built-in interpreter(s)." The bottom line is that you get to play where Apple lets you play.

NO Flash is like a car driving down the (not electronic) highway and missing all electronic signs because your Ferrari doesn't support traffic lights and so on....come on, whichever reason they will have for not using Flash, it sucks for the users...bigtime!

And HTML5 will run on almost any android browser app from the market.

But Itunes will remain the biggest reason to say NO to Apple.

@bongky18 Also any game of note for iOS devices made so far *only works on iOS devices* which means the developer has to write ports of his software to make it work on other platforms (Android, OSX, Windows, Linux, etc.) That goes against the whole intention of Flash: to allow the developer to make one application that works for anything, much like Java which is also banned on iPhone BTW, and much like Unity which is also banned.
