Well, it is sounding as though Adobe will lose on this one.
Now MS is saying Flash is the old way, HTML5 is the new.

Just read it in a different Mag…I won’t say which, just look it up if you want to know.

@will1978-
Huh? I am not sure what the heck you are talking about. I have not seen any products that open full web pages as they are written, let alone open them as fast as a full-blown PC.
Enlighten me if I am wrong, please.
As for Adobe/Apple, this has been a love-hate relationship for decades. (Some say from day one) I can remember calling Adobe back in the 90s and asking why (at the time) they were not making new Apple-compatible products. The answer was less than friendly. I have not been an Adobe fan since.
In the end, it is not up to Apple to build equipment with Adobe compatibility as a goal. And, truthfully, Adobe does not need to make compatible software if they don’t want to. We will see who is wrong and loses business, and I suspect it will be Adobe that “blinks”…eventually.

Is it a right way to say: “Adobe has been painfully slow to adopt enhancements to Apple’s platforms!!?”

Isn’t it better to put it this way that Apple’s current mobile devices such as iphone and ipad don’t have powerful hardware spec for websites today, actually the processing speed is slow and the memory is small, for example when people open some webpages with more pictures, some pictures don’t show up due to the lack of the memory, and taking too long to load a webpage.

why doesn’t apple upgrade the hardware and let users have a better experience surfing the Internet?

unbelievable!

I feel kinda bad for Adobe. But then I remember their products, and I stop.
