Apple has no purpose to put Flash in their mobile devices that use iOS, because Flash is a battery hog, a processor waster, and a waste of development. Why do you think that Apple is pushing HTML5 so much. HTML, CSS, and Javascript working together can do just as much as Flash while being more browser friendly.

I'm not sure I agree with you here. Currently, HTML, CSS and Javascript aren't near as powerful as Flash. How long do you think it would take to do this sort of stuff in HTML?

I never said that it would be easy to make something that looked as good, but it is still possible. It would take a long time to be able to do the same thing, but it is still possible.

4	No, Apple said, that if Adobe shows them Flash running fast on a mobile device, that they would allow it on the iPhone. Adobe has yet to even attempt to show them. Flash is dead. Face it. answered Jun 14 '10 at 22:07 AppleHack23 (suspended)

3	It would be nice, although I don't believe it will happen. If it doesn't, then hopefully something like smokescreen will step up and make flash usable on the iPhone. answered Jun 14 '10 at 21:57 dan_144 1.8k●4●14●33

I think they should at least try. It seems to be running fine on Android phones.

By fine, does the words lagging and jittery come into mind? The main reason why Apple doesn't allow it is because what they've seen so far with Flash is that it would make their product look bad.

1	Apple said to Adobe to make a good Flash player on a mobile device, and Adobe never did. That's why Apple didn't put Flash on iOS and Adobe is blaming Apple for their shit. answered Jun 14 '10 at 22:26 PianoScience 332●24●29●36

1	At the minimum, they should give us the option of enabling it or disabling it while using the Safari mobile browser. answered Jun 14 '10 at 23:51 mosesd 1.2k●4●11●26

Apple has great reasons as to why they do not allow flash on the iOS devices. It does suck because they get some criticism from a lot of people. Maybe if they could just see how flash would cause so many problems when it comes to performance, and battery life, they would take back their criticisms

I don't think Apple should put Flash on the iDevices. Flash is horrible, I never liked it since it's first introduction, and it drains battery life. There is an app called "CloudBrowse" which is an remote Firefox browser that supports Flash. 1, the Flash content looks choppy. 2, when using it I do notice a difference in battery life.

No, Apple should never put Flash on the iDevices, if they do I will stop buying them!

Yes. I could have played sooooooooooo many awesome games on my iPod Touch by now if they had put flash on it by now. Come on apple, get with the program.

If you want to use Flash (and I can't think of any reason why anyone would want to) just use CloudBrowse. No need for Apple to put Flash on the entire device when there is already an app that can play Flash content.

No you couldn't have. How are you going to type into the game, because you have no way to becomeFirstRepsonder, second, left and right mouse clicks, how would you do that, third, some flash games require mouse hovers, how would you do that?

0	From a business perspective they shoulden't, no flash will not stop people buying the ipad however slugging performance of the ipad will. answered Jun 14 '10 at 23:54 Liamalxd 146●3●6●10
