Adobe Flash and the iPad

1/29/2010 7:53:00 PM

When Steve Jobs was demonstrating the iPad it quickly became clear that Flash was not going to be included on the device. Since that day there has been a very strong push by Adobe to suggest that Flash is a good fit for the iPhone and iPad.

(more...)

Adobe's push for Flash to be placed on the iPhone and iPad is nothing more than a quest to remain relevant in a world that Apple has proven does not need Flash. When the iPhone was released I didn't worry that Flash was not included. This is because in the past I have been able to duplicate most functionality that Flash provides by using standard web methods wrapped with AJAX.

If I needed to produce an animated introduction, I could use .NET and AJAX to provide the animated opening, bypassing Flash and it's inherit instability. If I needed to play a video, I could do so by relying on one of the many existing standards that existed. The importance of Flash is quickly fading and will only continue with the introduction of HTML5.
