Did you know Adobe’s has been try so hard to make Flash on the iPhone with so many failures since the succeed of Steve Jobs that first held the thing in 2007, and it seemed like the tension is going to grow better than before because the iPhone OS moves onto the iPad. Of course at the first appearance we all know that the iPad has no Flash support when Jobs demoing a browser, and Adobe Flash Platform blog now comes at the right moment and said:
It looks like Apple is continuing to impose restrictions on their devices that limit both content publishers and consumers. Unlike many other ebook readers using the ePub file format, consumers will not be able to access ePub content with Apple’s DRM technology on devices made by other manufacturers. And without Flash support, iPad users will not be able to access the full range of web content, including over 70% of games and 75% of video on the web. If I want to use the iPad to connect to Disney, Hulu, Miniclip, Farmville, ESPN, Kongregate, or JibJab — not to mention the millions of other sites on the web — I’ll be out of luck.
Yup, that sounds great. Adobe smartly showed that the Open Screen Project is bringing Flash to all sorts of any other devices. After realized the Nokia N900 runs Flash 9 very well on a 600MHz ARM Cortex A8-based TI OMAP 3 processor (and the Palm Pre, which uses the same chip, will be able to run Flash 10.1 when webOS 1.4 comes out) we do not know any other reason than politics that the iPad cannot do it on that fancy new 1GHz dual-core Cortex A9-based A4 chip. Quite impressive I think!
