CNN: Like other Apple products, the iPad -- released Saturday -- does not run Flash, making some games and videos unusable. Apple CEO Steve Jobs has reportedly called Flash "buggy" and a memory hog. But there's also a financial aspect to the dispute. Roughly three-quarters of the video on the Internet uses Flash, and allowing it on Apple products would give customers options other than applications sold through the official Apple store.

But there's also a financial aspect to the dispute. it *is* buggy and a memory hog. look at the joojoo review where battery life dropped significantly when playing flash. > Roughly three-quarters of the video on the Internet uses Flash, and > allowing it on Apple products would give customers options other than > applications sold through the official Apple store. a lot of sites support h.264 and html5. youtube videos automatically play without any issue, which is what most embedded video is. it really isn't a major issue.

Flash is crappy technology. It *is* a memory hog and a great way to distribute malware. Android doesn't have Flash either. |
