And flash is not a standard. It is a moving target completely controlled by one company that makes changes to the "standard" whenever it wants to sell more tools...
It was sales numbers in the US (not market share) and it includes millions of free devices. I guess we can say the people who bought iPhones were actually willing to spend money..
They also distribute free apps without cost to developers and all developers can send out all the free updates for their apps they want. I suppose they do take their 30% of Free too.
The iPhone SDK makes it very easy to be able to write code that runs on all of the devices and takes advantage of the features on newer platforms. All of the devices so far support iPhone OS 4.0.
You simply can not say the same thing for Android. There is a huge difference...
There are 100 million Android devices? (Even if you ignore the fact that they do not support the same code..)/ I think you should brush up on the comprehension part of your reading..
Intersting thought. Perhaps they have made some modifications to the design and are now leaking out models like the one that was stolen.. Or they have come up with a new strategy in light of what happened. They can't put the genie back in the bottle.
These incidents have significantly cut into the interest that would be drummed up prior to the actual announcement, so I doubt it. Apple has a pretty specific (and wildly succesful) marketing plan that relies on secrecy up until the point they choose to reveal something in a highly anticipated event...
As a side note, the correct word for finding something and selling it to someone else without making a reasonable attempt (or by the admision of the thief in the Apple case, no attempt) to return it to the original owner is theft.
Ignoring the fact that developers can have Apple distribute all the free Apps (ad free even) and updates they like for their $99 developer fee. I am not sure what you think Flash is threatening other than user experience.
The problem is that these Flash apps would not support the Multitasking APIs (for example), users would say multitasking on iPhone does not work. It would actually be Adobe fault and not Apples. Not a single user in the world would blame anyone but Apple.
I read this post in every flash story and it always conveniently ignores the fact that Flash is not a standard, it is a moving target that will never be ratified and depends entirely on the whims of Adobe.
It appears someone (GP) did not RTFAITOS which clearly mentioned in the US and even indicated it was based in saturation of the only US carrier with the iPhone.
One other item to note, people actual pay for their iPhones. Much of the Android "sales" were giveaways by carriers who could not sell them and wanted to create some buzz.
Are you suggesting it is OK for adults in school administration to traumatize a little girl because they do not have the balls to stand up and speak out against a stupid policy?

Your parenthetical statement was most telling, thank you.

Curious why you did not use the direct Lisp to VHDL translator. What benefits do you derive by moving your code through LabView and Fortran.
If Dell or HP wanted to do that, I would have no problem at all. I suspect their stockholders would be a little upset though.
I am sure you already know how lame your argument is , so I am not going to bother explaining it to you.

This one could be a leak because the "guy" (admitted thief) forced them to change their marketing strategy.

Unless of course you live by the laws of the State of California.....
Or burglary.

Of course most of youtube is already on HTML5 and blip.tv already supports the iPhone/Pad.
And those games actually cost money for Apple to distribute because they are free...(I suppose that is where your argument falls down)
Because Adobe would sue them for violating their TOS because surely someone at Apple has purchased any CS product.
Take a look at the Gnash FAQ if you do not understand the legal dance they are performing. It would certainly not work for Apple.

They never responds, which means they are either developing corporate apps or "exaggerating".

Do you have to do those things for Windows Mobile: Yes.
Do you have to do them for OSX: No.
Do you compare Apples to Oranges a lot: Yes.

So make open office work on the iPad. It must be possible to do without a big pile of Java suck.
I can connect a real keyboard to an XBOX, PS3 or Wii...
