Whoa, 10 hours to an hour and a half. I think that's a bit exaggerated. Come on now, seriously?

That's not true fanboy, adobe already developed a version for the iphone, but it was Steve who rejected for whatever reason he considers it isn' t good for the iphone, I don't know why apple decides to not use flash, the iphone browser will be the ultimate mobile internet device, btw the iphone is way ahead of the competition no matter what the fanboys says...!!!

1) i guess he hates flash in all forms.. including flash for the iphones.. camera! LOL 2) Doggie, can you tell me exactly how iphone is ahead of the competition in anyway other than raw sales? Is that 2mpx camera with no flash or video, top notch? How about the ability NOT to multitask? Or the mentality that says thowing all your icons on screen after screen is waaay better than customizing your front page and widgets.... Or that removable battery or insurance? And that great "we just got MMS and Voice recognition, we have no idea what to do with adobe flash, so therefore its outdated even though everyone uses/wants it..." mentality.

Simple: has the best and most user friendly mobile browser, the apple store has no compare. Isn't that enough....????

the droid's browser is pretty comparable to the iphones. have you ever used the android market? i'm sure the apps are very similar. once the iphone 4g comes out, then you have a right to brag bro, but until then, take your gaytoyphone and shove it.

Yes i tested android in all of its versions, i think is a good UI but safari mobile is more powerfull, more easy to use and has a faster response rather tha other cellphones. BTW the iphone is a toy u wish anything and u will sell ur own ass to see it one day with th VZW logo.......U got to wait a lot to pick up on ur store not at this time with that retarded and obsolete CDMA network...!!!!

http://www.cracked.com/article_18377_5-reasons-you-should-be-scared-apple.html Apples EVIL, even Cracked finally said so. Fuhrer Jobs controls all, the iNazis are spreading, and the Apple Reich is upon us. You have to question why people embrace control insted of freedom. Look at the stranglehold Apple has on it's users and they love Apple for it. They don't realize the evil in the company because they're too busy dreaming of Hope and Change in the computer industry. Just like the American people don't see the evil in the Democrats socialist adjenda. You're voting for Apples Dictator ways with your dollar, just like you voted for the Socialist Dictator ways in this last election. Some of us Americans are so stupid right now, you're giving power positions to the wrong people. Wake up, see the evil, vote the other way, stop reinforcing it. Simple. If you must know, I voted Constitution Party, and own WebOS. HAIL JOBS!

kilari,i have to comment on that, last election what choice did the american people have, at least in cell phones we do. either mccain who is so old and changes his vote which ever way the wind blows and picks an idiot to be his running mate. that is scary. the republican party is no constitutional party as they would like to do away with it. read the rise and fall of the third reich , the republican handbook, facism will come to this country wrapped in a flag and bible. so to the real topic, apple revolutionized the cellphone and computer industry, it kept microsoft from being the nazi it was becoing. i love my mac but i love my droid too.

He hates flash because he knows app developers could potentially use that to create apps for his devices and bypass the app store, basically hes making a huge friggin deal about flash to protect his gold encrusted pockets. It makes perfect business sense but hes still an uber tool

Steve Jobs, you freaking moron. You sit here and bash Flash, but you have nothing to combat it. All of your precious iPhone users want Flash, but guess what,you're never gonna get it because of this idiot. If you say Flash is soon going to disappear from the face of the Earth, why don't you have anything in the meantime to give your users what they want?

Well said Bigs. I think that Commandante Jobs has missed the point, his smaller machines across the board are generally hardware un-upgradeable so he has to rely on apps to stop his small machines becoming obscelete quickly and justify the price tag. If you renamed flash an app, would this make the his supremeness happy? From a tree hugging, panda high-fiving point of view I have plenty of friends who have mp3 players or phones that they just changed the memory card on, a small change and no need to create a new machine. The entire policy of making machines automatically obselete seems selfish and wasteful to me. On another subkect, I did notice that for a set of products that tout themselves on simplicity the Apple flagship store in London seems full of women, older men and trendy types who need to have things explained to them and this isn't a coincidence as there seems to be no queue and one technician to each customer even at lunchtimes,explaining things to them. I've never seen so many staff. This means that either a) Apple products are hard to use b) Apple customers are attention seekers c) Apple customers are not too bright d) Scared whitless of technology I then went to Maplins after this and noticed that it was full of men...and no-one was asking questions other than "where is this product please". So most people who go to this shop seem quite clued up and are clearly not scared of technology. At the end of the day Apple phones are toys for simple people who don't understand or want to have to understand PCs. On the other hand I know Apple's reputation along technical technical/musical/media lines is the best, no comparison. My mother has been using Apple products as a graphic designer and illustrator for the best part of 20 years so I'm extremely familliar with this. So in conclusion, Jobs....I like the look of your prods, your standards of customer service seem unrivalled but you're still a self centered, egotistical, bell-end. So no chance I'll give you penny one of my hard earned cash.
