Adobe will continue to support the current versions of mobile Flash Player, but their main focus will now be on HTML5 and embedded Flash or Air applications for mobile devices.
meaning they’re killing mobile flash…
Yes, but AIR will be Flash’s successor.
But that doesn’t mean that flash will no longer work on android devices, and websites will still continue to use flash, which means that there are still android devices which will be able to view flash websites, which iPhone can’t do, so Android is still better. ;)
Oh, and how are you enjoying your 3.5in screen in comparison to my SGS2′s 4.3? Oh, and your closed down OS? Oh, and your lack of customization? Should I continue?
Android > iOS
1) Flash is dead, doesn’t matter if your phone can still play flash. It was the #1 feature Android users boasted about and doesn’t mean much anymore.
2) I’m happy with my 3.5″ screen thank you http://www.grabi.org/2011/10/09/why-iphone-4s-stick-with-3-5-inch-screen-answer-is-here/
3) What does closed down OS mean? No trojans or viruses? That’s fine with me.
4) I can customize my phone, it’s been available since iOS2 or 3 I think
I just got an iPhone 4S so I’m not dissing iPhones but when it comes to customisability I think Android wins in that department. I’m also happy with the screen size. You’re wrong though they’re not killing flash if they will continue to support devices and issue updates and bug fixes..
That means its been killed off…
“Android users now need to find a new reason on why Android is better than iOS” – There’s no need to find just A reason as there are plenty of reasons Android is better than iOS.
Mark, you and all the apple fanboys out there try to find ANYTHING to put down Android when it is clearly better than iOS.
It’s actually the other way round. We mind our own business but you guys are always shoving flash down our throats. iPhone sucks cuz it has no flash… well we can finally not have to hear that anymore!
Well since Android phones have 50% of the market share in here in the UK and iphones only 18.5%, it seems there are a LOT more reasons to switch to Android than just flash!
Since when does quantity mean better? Windows makes up like 80% of the market (or something) but that doesn’t mean it’s better than OSX. Just because corolla is like the most popular car in Kuwait doesn’t mean its the best car…
Are you insisting that MacOS is better than Windows? lol
Apple fanboys :)
Actually it is …!! LOL
Windows Fanboys :)
If you are tech savvy, you will understand each one of them have their own advantages and disadvantages..
and oh by the way; I use MacOS as well as Windows everyday..
because theyre giving free android phones
that and because there are a lot more android phones than iphones..
chris man u r dumb. do u even follow tech!!! lol windows better than mac os
all top tech companies use mac os than windows ! fb sony windows is just full of security holes!
I wouldn’t be responding to posts here if I don’t follow tech. ; Windows has a higher market share than MacOS which is why it is more targeted by hackers/crackers.
You clearly don’t understand the point here; to me, Windows is much more efficient.
Neither MacOS nor Windows is better if I consider overall functionality.
I work with HP, Dell, IBM; and many universities here in US and see iMacs with Windows in it. If Windows sucked, they clearly wouldn’t have installed a dual boot option on an iMac.
The dual boot option is for windows users and not because Mac users requested it. It’s a way of easing windows users to macs with the idea if u don’t like osx u could always run windows…
Exactly.. they buy iMacs in bulk to make it look more professional else they could have easily bought bulk from HP or Dell..
To me, neither is better than the other in terms of their overall functionality
“the idea if u don’t like osx u could always run windows…”
Of course NO ON Likes osx, EVERYONE LOVES WINDOWS !!! Thats why everyone buys Wintel PCs.
No flash, no prob..
We still got widgets <3
