Flash is "old" technology that needs a major update for portable devices but it's not "dead", not when just about every website uses it. Apple needs to do what they did with Microsoft, they couldn't beat them, so they joined them. Meaning they made stuff compatible with PC's because they knew they would sink if they didn't. Apple needs to realize the same thing with flash. Just make a half assed attempt to use Flash for the time being much like the Android OS does and wait.
Flash is the best way to put multimedia content on the web. The problem is that if Flash exists in apple products, you will not need apple store anymore to buy games and content... Its time to adobe to create hardware and clone the ipad. Flash is better than HTML5 and javascript together. U just need HTML 4, PHP and Flash.
Groundbreaking journalism, I'm amazed 60 Minutes isn't covering this discovery.
Don't ever ask retail employees about deep technological issues. Apple Store employees aren't computer nerds, they're sales people. One could easily interchange one of them with an appliance salesperson from Best Buy and not know the difference.
You should ask the Apple employees to show you an example of an HTML5 website running on the iPad. Currently HTML5 games don't work on the iPad, since there is no user interaction on the Canvas tag in the Safari iPhone OS browser. Plus the HTML5 animation framerate on the iPad is at most 4 fps. #AppleFail
What song is that?
