With all the apps available my iPad does pretty much everything I want.
Ladies and agency owners - if you have a website that you run that relies on Flash technology to display photos of yourself or your girls, please realize that anyone using an iPad or iPhone will not be able to see all or in some cases any of the photos.
With over 100 million of these devices sold, there is a fair chance that some of your customers are using them to see your site.
Frustrating for us, potentially business affecting for you.
Technology rant over, back to normal programming ![]()
It handles flash on iPad and iPhone.
Steve and Co were in an decades old pissing match with Adobe, which is essentially why iPod, iPhone, and iPad users can't see Flash without a workaround. They can afford to impose their opinions on consumers like the OP, because Apple could sell blocks of wood dipped in high gloss paint and people would still stand in line for hours to buy them. The purchasers of said blocks would then blame companies for not making wood-compatible websites.
The world, including Android, is moving to HTML5 and away from Flash. Flash can't even be downloaded anymore for use on Android devices running the latest version of Android.
And a personal note on website preferences: I rarely stick around until a Flash site loads. They may be very pretty, but they're difficult to navigate, and almost always extremely slow. No, thanks. I definitely prefer websites that are coded in simple HTML.
Producing a device that can't render a significant portion of the web is another. I'm no fan of inefficient Flash websites (where HTML can be used to accomplished the same results), but I'll be damned if I pay Apple to decide which platforms I can view -- especially when they're doing so to ostensibly to keep me dependent on the content they sell.
control so many types of "flash" and Adobe isn't one of them.... (most ladies I know outsource their sites to hosting providers on the cheap) BUT Agency owners should know better! Rant over.....
the OP decided to trash them instead of ask.

i said i wasn't going to, but i've become an app junkie. i love playing with Star Walk and i just got one that's pretty much for workouts.
And more convienant. I take mine with me everywhere. With the current popularity of readers no one has a clue. I just pretend to be reading.
Tech dunces that buy shiny paperweights and get miffed AT OTHERS when it can't display a platform that predates their purchase by decades.

Same goes for the ancient Neanderthals saying the old days were better than anything new. Do you have a horse and buggy.
Since it was the main source of transportation in your childhood .
It's funny the OP never came back but you did to pick up the torch. Hmmmmm I wonder if that means ....... Yes that has to be it .
Nice quote about flash you picked off a site too. It's verbatim . Too funny
If you can't understand the difference between buying a device that doesn't support current technology, and clinging to something obsolete, then you're not qualified to have this discussion.
I like the fact that iOS does not support Flash. It is bloatware at it's best. If I see Flash, I go elsewhere.
I don't think I have been missing anything.
Should stay away from flash. It's days are numbered. It is a bloated piece of add on software.
