The position ofAppleontechnology
Flash vs le HTML 5was enoughclearly expressed
last weeks, it came from statements by Steve Jobs but
also small, very clear steps such as the listing of sites offering videos
in HTML5 or
changing access conditionsto the submission of applications for
applications generated via flash. However,Steve
Jobstook his pen andposted a long post on the
subject, which is quite rare.
He returns to the elements already mentioned: the appearance
openof HTML 5 versus the flash which is proprietary, the fact
whatother video encoding formats are played by
l’iPhone, whichmany games exist on
l’AppStore(so no need for flash game support ;-)), the appearance
security,performance, the impact on
l’autonomy(with interesting examples on encoding
H.264), the absence oftouch supportin flash apps,
which are made to be used with a mouse. Finally, he returns to
the argument already developed to prohibit the use of cross compilers,
who does notdo not allow you to get the most out of each device/
Apis.
In short, the conclusion, without appeal, falls: "Flash was created
during the PC era – for PCs and mice" … "Perhaps Adobe should focus
more oncreating great HTML5 toolsfor the future, and less on
criticizing Apple forleaving the past behind.".

as it issettlement of account at OK Corral,Shantanu
Narayan, CEO of Adobe, was quick to respond,
it's here. He therefore takes up a certain number of points by arguing
the opposite, we can easily imagine ;-).
Behind these exchanges of kindness, there isa real
batailleeta lot of money to lose or winpour
one as for the other. Positions could remain very firm from each
side, but in the end,it is the consumer who will have to
arbitrate.
The next few months will tell how HTML 5, which is getting a boost
fantastic from Apple, manages to supplant flash in certain areas, or
non !
