Adobe: Jobs Don't Know His iPhone

[r0x0r]

Well whaddya know, a sense of humour. That just made my view of Adobe a little bit more positive.

There's something to be learnt here, Steve in Cupertino...

Let's look at iphone 3GS's biggest rival, HTC Hero, which runs flash. Not surprisingly, it sucked on there, just like in every other mobile devices. I've never been a fan of flash, and I personally try to avoid any flash heavy website. Because they kick up my laptop's fan for no good reason, and is mostly unresponsive. Flash needs to die or seriously improve on performance. Hopefully GPU utilization would help this situation.

Adobe have better engineers than Apple!

Hahaha!

The problem is Apples doesn't want anything on their systems/devices that wasn't written by Apple. Heaven forbid someone trying to make a buck by writing an application to run on an Apple device...

Why did they have to blow it up with dynamite when dropping it would have the same effect?

[citation][nom]etracer65[/nom]Well if Adobe can get Flash to run "great" on an iPhone, then how come it runs like a steaming pile of crap on Mac OSX? Maybe Adobe should apply some of the same Myth Hacking techniques to solve this long-standing problem and then worry about the iPhone.[/citation]

There are more iPhone users than Mac OSX users. Bigger customer base.

Funny thing is, I have never seen actually seen one "Just Work"

Flash is overrated.

My windows mobile phone runs flash just fine =)

The Infallible Jobs wrong? Not possible! Not even in any parallel universe! Flash is not supposed to run on iPhone. Some engineers at Apple didn't understand the instructions and did the opposite.

But seriously, let's give the guy the benefit of the doubt. Maybe he was right then when he tried an older, untweaked version of Flash on an older, slower iPhone prototype. Now with both hardware and software improved considerably, he should have kept himself updated with the new test results.

Adobe, instead of makeing this entertaining video, you could spend some money on developing flash 64 bit version and you wouldn't look like dorks for many years.
Playing with mobile devices, but not with windows 64 bit desktops - it's just stupid :-(
