It just seems good for the internet in general moving forward.Īs far as the App Store, I think that is beyond the scope of the Flash vs. Personally, I like the idea that video and other interactive content would be browser-based as opposed to being restricted to one single authoring tool (Adobe Flash). GoMedia wants to hear from you web devs out there: what’s your take on this? Not being a web developer myself, my thoughts come from an end-user perspective. So on one hand, we’re talking about browser content, and on the other we are talking about the App Store. There’s actually two components to this situation: the first being a browser plugin, which allows Flash-based video players and Flash-based websites (or web elements) to run on the Apple devices the second is the new terms for the iPhone OS 4.0, which basically state that coders must use Apple’s tools to create apps for the platform. The gist of the situation is that Apple has decided they don’t want to be reliant on a third-party plugin for the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch products.Īpple’s suggestion is for developer’s to embrace the new HTML5 specs which are supported by most current browsers, with planned support for HTML5 coming in those browsers that don’t currently support it.
Recently we published a post regarding Apple’s stance on Flash and their iDevices.
