In case you missed the update today about the “enhancements” to IOS 4.1, then have a read about it here.
>> This Is How Much the New iPhone 4 Signal Bars Have Grown
This has angered many, but not me.
I feel a cross promotion with Viagra & Apple is just around the corner. A very well-enhanced promotion with big bars and lots of touch activated fun….
What side will you be on when this happens?
Take a look around and you will see the signs of the segregation that is coming. People are picking a side and defending their chosen brand with conviction and a semi-accurate knowledge of the systems inner workings.
If we are not careful, there will soon be whole sections of cities where certain technology manufacturers are totally banned.
Teenagers will meet in secret rooms to look at the “forbidden” systems not allowed by their parents.
And the world will be a shittier place…….
Why can’t we just have one unified platform that all manufacturers use, and live in harmony for ever more?
This time it’s personal…..
There has been a lot of talk on the Interwebz about the lack of support for Flash on the iPad. We all came to accept it missing from the iPhone, but expectations were high that the fabled iPad would support it. But not so.
And due to this, there have been numerous jokes made about it online.
Obviously, I have thrown my hat into the ring with the comic above. But there have been many other great ones also created over the past few weeks.
Two of my favourites are:
| > | This episode of Foxtrot, by Bill Amend. It is a great strip and this comic is very well done in it’s approach to this joke. |
| > | A more subtle but hilarious version by Ben McCormick, who creates the strip “Reality Amuck“ |
| > | Also, while creating this comic, I could not resist doing a very lame iPad joke about flash. Sorry 😛 |
Apple has said all along it didn’t believe Flash was a good mobile technology and resisted supporting it since the first iPhone was released.
They prefer HTML5, CSS, JavaScript, and H.264 (all supported by the iPhone and iPad) that are open and standard, while branding Adobe’s Flash to be closed and proprietary.
But despite the Apple openly not supporting Flash on their mobile products without a reason, Adobe spent a lot of time to rectify the situation at there end.
Adobe Systems put in the effort to change its technology, and prepared solutions for building Flash applications that run on the iPhone.
Then Apple changed the terms of its iPhone 4.0 software developer kit license, which effectively blocked Adobe’s move, meaning that Adobe ceased future development of the Flash-apps-on-iPhone technology.
The result of all this is an Apple-Adobe battle of which I, for one, will be keen to see the outcome.
