Motorola Takes Another Swipe at Apple in New Ad

[hillarymakesmecry]

Flash support kind of sucks. Now all these ridiculous ads will start showing up eating up precious limited space on the data plan and slwoing down our browsing experience.

Although I agree with everyone saying that the lack of Flash support is poor, it will be sort of a moot point soon because with the advent of HTML 5, Flash is on the way out - as YouTube has already demonstrated.

But it isn't gone yet and HTML5 isn't exactly fully working yet.
You dont remove support for something until it's replacement is in place.

One day all cars will run on batteries, so let's stop producing gasoline right now.
What about all those people who have cars that use gasoline still?
Tough, they will have to get a new car plus gasoline is bad so just deal with it.

Flash should be supported until people decide to stop using it, not because you are prevented even though virtually the whole internet uses it.

But of course, the ad is partly paid by adobe.

They forgot to put "The real ultimate internet browsing experience"

[citation][nom]Drakennz[/nom]Hold up so you're saying because other companies do it - it's ok?That sounds a bit like Job's ideology when it comes to dealing with the iPhone 4's signal loss issues.Personally I don't think simply proving that other's do it, makes something less disgusting/despicable[/citation]
I never said it was OK. I said you'd be a hypocrite to point fingers at one company when virtually all companies run their business this way - outsource production to a country where labour costs are dirt cheap to lower your production costs.

It's funny how Foxconn makes so many products, yet the only ones people complain about are Apple.

And I'm still enjoying my two brand new iPhone 4's.

Well, Apple is getting what they did to other phones in their press conference.

Have you people TRIED flash on a smart phone? It's a grisly, crashy, hot, battery-draining experience.

Sure, the droids support flash in the same way my economy car supports towing a full-sized camper. Just because it can be done doesn't mean it should be.

Too bad Motorola ruins their phones with locked bootloaders and such. I wish they'd just abandon that stance.
