Rip Mr Jobs, let's hope they burry the flash ban with him.

But what was it you said about people wanting things that work?

I reckon he did well to survive pancreatic cancer that long. Announced in 2004. 56 is no age to die, though.

...yes any flash based web site working would be nice. Or the complete Internet, instead of 2/3rds of it.

I almost agree with the policy though, they are trying to push HTML5 which will leave it up to the device/browser to render, not rely on Adobe.

iPad it would be useful, given its target market. But have to remember Flash is generally very data hungry, just take a look at that link millwall posted a while ago, took fair bit of time to load even on a decent internet connection.

Unless your on very strong 3G signal or WiFi you going to struggle to use flash content on a phone

...may well be, I wouldn't know on this device.

I might like to see how unstable it is for my self, like every one else.

And pretty much considered industry standard so required........

Yup, agreed

That said, in 18months of being a homo using a gayPhone, I can honestly say I don't think I've ever missed Flash

A greater loss (IMHO) to the world of Computer Science; Dennis Ritchie died yesterday, co-inventor of the C programming language (alongside Brian Kernighan) and one of the central figures in the creation of Unix: http://boingboing.net/2011/10/12/dennis-ritchie-1941-2011-computer-scientist-unix-co-creator-c-co-inventor.html

Yes, indeed I wonder how many lines of C have been written worldwide?

I heard this as well

No idea, but I've written a few 100,000 of them. I remember using the Kernighan and Richie reference book on C programming to learn the language.

Apple Mac is about 5% of PC market, but they reckon that with the iPad this will increase to 12% this year. Microsoft's market share is being steadily eroded where tablet computers and smart phones are gaining market share.
