No Flash On The IPhone? Say It Isnt So!
Folks were thrown off by Apples latest iPhone Ad depicting the full featured Internet, on a mobile device. Hearing the latest report from Macrumors, Apple seems to contradict itself. How can you have the full Internet but not support Flash? Does Apples YouTube deal have anything to do with this?
It was speculated in January that Apple would offer Flash for iPhone, but learning that its support will be dropped brings up some issues. This isnt the full Internet Steve Jobs was advertising, its more like the watered down version. However, Apple did strike a recent deal with Google to bring YouTube to AppleTV, this could be done for the iPhone as well.
Sure well get better quality and thats what we need for AppleTV, high quality video, but going through the entire process of converting and creating a custom catalog for us? Jobs must have something else in store and if you havent got the hint yet, think about it. No Flash, H.264 videos, limited content. Duh, Apple wants you to buy videos for your iPhone from iTunes! Appease some of us by offering a limited catalog, but increase its quality to suit us and leave us wanting more. Indirectly limiting content from one of the biggest Video sharing sites in the world already brought up some red flags.
Im no developer but how hard would it be for Apple to get flash working on the iPhone? It already runs Mac OS X. Needless to say Apples excuse to H.264 everything in order to improve video quality is cutting off access to more widespread content.
