Lev13than writes "Apple Inc. CEO Steve Jobs said the iPhone won't be using Adobe Systems' Inc.'s popular Flash media player any time soon, saying the technology doesn't meet his company's performance standards for video. Jobs said the version of Flash formatted to personal computers is too slow on the iPhone while the mobile version of the media player is "is not capable of being used with the web." The comments come a day before Apple is set to introduce the company's plan for iPhone SDK, the software developers kit which will allow third-party developers to create applications that can work in conjunction with the popular handheld device."

Apparently enough people listen to him instead of listening to whiners like you. And yet the iPhone is a success after only eight months? iPod? MacBooks? iMac? I'm sorry... what were you saying? Not important anyways... you can go back to your parent's basement now.

Apple is less about choice and more about giving them the best experience possible.

This kind of symantic slippery is typical Apple marketing buzz.

What's the standard deviation on that 75% figure you quoted? Did you just drag it out of your imagination?

Steve Jobs does his best marketing to psuedo-intellectuals and the undereducated intelligent.
