It's a bit rich coming from a company like Apple! However, I agree with what he is saying. But, if people want to use Flash, then those websites will be unavailable to i(whatever) users.

They should sort it out.

Geezer

 

All fair points although I bet it's considerably harder to make a cross browser heavily animated websites in HTML5 as supposed to Flash.

credit to him for putting his thoughts out there. Flash clearly has it's place but as with all things it's there to be made defunct.

I take Steve Jobs and his diatribe with a pinch of salt. I'm a BIG Apple fan, and use their products every day in both professional and consumer manners, but Steve Jobs is their to do one thing: Sell Apple products. He's a salesman.

He might be right about Flash, who knows, who really cares.
