It’s know that iPad’s won’t be able to run Flash content, again, as on iPhone, Apple decided to leave Flash away from their products.
Of course Apple should have their reasons, but I believe that the user experience will be in cause without Flash. Honestly I can’t see great use on iPad, why do you need it, if you can’t enjoy it. I’m talking about videos, games and much more Flash experiences that would make iPad a truly interesting product.
Not sure, but I believe this will be the worst product ever made by Apple, it’s heavy, large, and totally not practical to take with you. If it is to stay at home I believe everyone will prefer their laptops…
All this because of a post at Gizmodo that is generating another war on the comments about Flash usability, size, security etc etc. Take a look and share your two cents!

Can’t really say that I had a huge surprise with Downey leaving Adobe to join Microsoft, however like all the rest of us I can say it messes up a little with everyone.
The reason for this post is first to congratulate Mike for the hard decision I believe he had, and to try to understand what were the motivations or des(motivations) with is well know career at Macromedia / Adobe to take a decision like this.
Was Silverlight or Microsoft that motivated him or could it be Adobe not giving anymore the motivation he needed.
Could it be possible in the near future some more guys like Lynch or Chambers follow his steps? Unfortunately or not it’s not the first case in this last year. Can this changes became normal?
