Flash was the most requested feature on the iPhone, but instead of listening to their customers, Steve Jobs decided to talk trash about the most used, and best rich media system on the internet. He then went on to ban the compiler Adobe spent years developing three days before they launched it.
Bearing in mind there are about 3 million developers using Flash, and hundreds of millions of websites I don't think this was a smart move!
This move was the final nail in the coffin for Apple products and me, I will NEVER buy their stuff now, and I actively discourage everyone I know to do the same (not helped by the Apple fan boys screaming Flash must die everywhere, before a useable alternative even exists).
With html5 now providing persistent bookmarks that cannot be deleted, and nowhere near the same quality of immersive content (if you can actually view it).
Over 60% of internet users are unable to access ANY html5 content (compared to 98% who can view Flash).
Meanwhile Apple are ripping off consumers and content providers alike to boast record profits, while leaving internet developers without work, and the rich internet landscape in complete disarray.
Not to mention the huge number of people (slave labour) who produce their products are jumping off buildings...
Anyone who supports Apple is basically supporting a school yard bully, it was somewhat forgiveable when they went after Microsoft because they were in direct competition, and were/are the underdog.
Seeing the way they behave when they have a competitive lead and how they start to attack other parts of the industry (which offered free, device agnostic, universal alternatives to their 30% cut app ecosystem), disgusts me....
NEVER BUY APPLE PRODUCTS
