Flash has been around for quite some time and has been very popular by developers for games and other applications on the net. I’m sure it got its popularity from being available on all host platforms and allowed developers to deliver innovated applications at the time. Such as MP3 streaming and many other new exciting web content. Now though flash is falling behind and becoming out sourced by HTML5. For good reason, flash is a horrible platform now.  It’s a resource hog taking up far more resources then it should. Even if the developer of the flash application is at fault, Adobe is the one that’s going to pay. They shouldn’t have APIs that can destroy a users experience.

If Adobe flash doesn’t work well on desktop PCs how it can be useful on a mobile platform is beyond me. People wonder why the iPhone and the iPad don’t support Flash, well it’s really simple. Apple isn’t going to allow anything other than the best on its platform. They want the best user experience for its customers. Apple would rather go out of business than ever release something they don’t believe to be working in good order.

So to conclude I hope Adobe Flash is phased out by HTML5 soon.

Well as of late I’ve heard a lot of bad things about the iPhone application approval process and I must admit I’ve never had to go through it.  I understand developers could be very frustrated and pissed at how Apple does it, but it seems to me to be exactly how things should be.

The App store market is clean and contains mostly apps that function properly and I don’t have to worry about running a malicious application. Unlike other app repos that contain out dated, crappy, and potentially malicious apps; the app store is clean and fresh.

Apple has always had one thing in mind, and that’s the customers experience. They don’t want to give us something that doesn’t work or that we might potentially get frustrated over. They want it to just work, and well. They would rather have the consumer NOT have a product then to give them a half ass one… I think that’s something some people miss.

Just like with Flash and the iPhone, sure they could get flash on the device but they wont until the hardware can support it well enough to where the user experience is enjoyable and reliable.

Comments? Is there a side I’m missing? I’m sure there is =)

If you are having trouble with Find My iPhone through mobileme try fetching your mobileme mail and see if it works. You will most likely get an error stating, “Please enter your password.” Go back into system prefs and set your mobile me password. It seems a lot of people had this problem (along with myself). It’s simple fix and your iPhone should show up right away without a restart!
