As I've said before, merely re-working Flash to include Touch screens does NOT rework the existing tens of thousands of already existing Flash scripts and applets already on the Internet that still expect Mouse overs and keyboard inputs to work properly. Nor does it speed up the resource hungry large file downloads that slowed many pages with large numbers of Flash ads from loading quickly and efficiently. Flash is just not a good tool to use over wireless to touch screen based hand-held devices. Jobs was right and still is right.

Adobe Flash for Mobile on Android 2.2 on the new Motorola Droid 2, disappoints this reviewer... proving that Steve Jobs and Apple were right. Flash is NOT a good mix with Touch Screens and hand-held mobile devices. PING!

As expected. Flash already sucks the life out of my Mac and PCs. One thing sure to bring the system to a crawl is the kids running Flash under their accounts when I go to log on. Kill their logins and everything starts running better. Of all the things she normally runs, nothing drains the battery on my daughter’s netbook like Flash.

With Flash doing that to full computers, I didn’t expect mobile devices to do very well.

Well, this thread will surely draw fire from all the Flash defenders and Jobs haters, so I'll get my dibs in quick and then run like hell... :)

In the late 90's I thought Flash was way cool. A couple of the early Flash animations were pretty interesting. Then the webpage advertisers got it and overused it to the point of running screaming from the room...

I find Flash annoying as hell these days. Firefox "FlashBlock" is a saving grace.

I won't miss it -- other technologies are better now.

That said, I don't actually give a rat's patootie whether Jobs was right or not; the headline of the thread "...Proves Jobs Right" is premature, even though I agree that it's likely to pan out that way.

Okay, 'nuff said. Here's hoping I get this posted before the thread goes downhill...! :)

Surprise Surprise.... NOT.

I mean seriously... Adobe products practically LIVED off Apple PC sales for year before they went PC mainstream. If Flash was GOOD for Apple touch products, Steve Jobs would be ALL about them. But he was right. They SUCK. And now we have Droid products which, by perception alone, will seem to suck, to users, just because they “wanted” to be “not” Apple.

Suckers.
