Jobs Says Flash Video Not Suitable for iPhone

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."

My n810 runs flash - badly - its advertised as working which it does but it drops frames with current implimen

The difference here is that Nokia is fully content with shipping unfinished products and Apple is not. This "giving users choice" mantra is getting stupid. We've seen the result of this on Linux desktop. 10 competing window managers with all the choice you could wish for. Except none of them really stand out. How about a choice of 1 window manager that actually works?

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

I guess this all depends on who is defining "best", huh?

Funny, Apple used to be about "choice", and it's only when their shit doesn't work that suddenly it's all about "best experience possible".

Up is down.
