One Year Ago: Flash on Mobile Will Be Awesome by Early May
Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen sat down with the Wall Street Journal to respond to Steve Jobs’ Thoughts on Flash one year ago today. In the video interview, Narayen, goaded by poor interviewing by Alan Murray, talks down Apple and the iPad as a bully keeping out the open system that is Flash.
Galen Gruman in InfoWorld writes the following:
But Flash objects are often slow to load, and some would not function. That’s an issue Flash also has on Android, as my colleague Neil McAllister discovered in his extensive Flash tests. It’s becoming increasingly clear to me that Flash and mobile don’t mix.
So, three-and-a-half years after people started bitching about lack of Flash on iPhone, two years closely developing Flash for QNX and a year after this grandstanding and Flash on mobile is still a turd.
Apple is obviously wrong, right?
