glennda Posted April 5, 2012 Posted April 5, 2012 Microsoft have said that they will not support the mobile version of flash either... Echoing Apple, Microsoft bans Flash from Metro IE10 in Windows 8 - Computerworld Does this mean they are a no-no when their devices are released? Anything with windows 8 should be a no-no But if the likes of chrome etc still come bundled with flash thwn it just drives more people away from what is already an awful browser!
Arthur Posted April 5, 2012 Posted April 5, 2012 Android Tabs are the way to go IMHO these days Flash is so important. Not for long. ICS is the last version of Android that will support Flash Player. Btw, there are lots of iPad apps and games that use Flash (via Adobe AIR).
flyinghaggis Posted April 5, 2012 Author Posted April 5, 2012 Well I was in the local store today and ended up buying a new iPad 16gb wi-fi model! I'm sitting typing this on it at the moment in fact I guess the thing that really sold it to me was the screen resolution/quality and the general smoothness of web browsing on it compared to android. I realise it's probably not an entirely fair comparison as the android tablet would have had to render flash/etc as well but on the websites I tried if was a lot more usable. That and every video website I used seemed to work ok regardless of the fact it doesn't have flash. Guess it must default to YouTube or another alternative if it detects you don't have flash available? Been playing with it for an hour or so and I'm pretty happy with it so far!
