Apple should just buy adobe already
then they can stop pissing on flash for their codec being almost as good as quicktime remember when they tried to sue sorenson over flash video

corporations can be so selfish

(This line contains a typo: ‘Gary Rosenzweig at Developer Dispatch ported some of his Flash 5 games to work in Quicktime.’ Gary is running JavaScript games on his iPhone, and the device does not play SWF via QT.)

YouTube only converts Featured and Most Viewed videos to H.264 … if you upload your own, you won’t be able to view them neither on AppleTv or iPhone.. LAME Apple!!!!

ryan, Youtube is already converting to H.264. I have their videos on my Apple TV and it’s not FLV…

Boo Apple!

Not supporting Flash, Java, etc… is just a closed box mentality. Apple fans choose to overlook this, but if the iPhone was a Microsoft product – exact same thing feature for feature – there would be tons of bad press about the lack of these ‘basic’ features.

What really gets me is ringtones. You can make one from the apple store for $1, but you cannot play your own MP3? Even when the darn thing is a music player? Man, talk about nickle and dime business practice. Gimp your device and charge for a feature that every other smart phone on the market can do.

If Apple would have put Flash in the browser, and they would have hit the simple features one would expect from a phone, all good. Flash 5 hack – maybe? Naw, not worth the effort.
