Just because something other than Flash exists doesn't mean you can do without Flash in TODAY's interweb. I'd like to have the option of having Flash on my iPod.
Well, to clear it up for people who may not know about this -- it's already been made clear that it's not going to happen on the iPhone, iPod Touch and/or the iPad.
So, right off the bat, if anyone thinks it's absolutely essential for them to use it, they better know that they're never going to get it on those devices. That's a "done deal".
Now, what I'm saying is that any website of any consequence is going to change to accommodate those devices so that it's not necessary to have Flash -- and they are already doing it now.
So, in my way of "thinking" -- it's a total waste of people's time to be asking "Why can't I have Flash on my iPhone?" since it's never gonna happen ... :-)
But, I still discuss the issue with many who say that anyway ... LOL ...
I look forward to the development of touch-based technologies that make mice and pointers obsolete.
OTOH, my index fingertip is broad enough that I can't seen what's directly under it. I end up using my pinkie for fine resolution motion, which looks gay as hell. *sigh*
