Steve Jobs says:
In addition, Flash has not performed well on mobile devices. We have routinely asked Adobe to show us Flash performing well on a mobile device, any mobile device, for a few years now. We have never seen it. Adobe publicly said that Flash would ship on a smartphone in early 2009, then the second half of 2009, then the first half of 2010, and now they say the second half of 2010. We think it will eventually ship, but we’re glad we didn’t hold our breath. Who knows how it will perform?
A very well written piece on why they don’t allow Flash on their portable devices. I’ve been playing with HTML5 and must admit that this open standard along with the video standard might be the death knell of Flash.
