This post pretains to the open letter from Steve Jobs in late April regarding Flash operating on iPod, iPhone, and the iPad.
See the letter at http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/
It never ceases to amaze me how full of himself and his products Steve Jobs is. In the Mac vs. PC battle for market share, Mac is 2nd place in a 2 man race... by a mile. PC sales drawf Mac sales. People want options and the PC platform offers them. If you don't believe that ... visit the Mac software shelf in a store and its about 1/10th the size of the Windows section. The PC hardware section in Frys runs along almost one full wall and at least a dozen rows. The Mac section ... two rows.
Ironically, two of the best selling products on the Mac ... Adobe Photoshop and Microsoft Office. Steve Jobs should be thankful that these vendors reach out to Mac users and provide them some of the great software packages that PC users enjoy. Those two rows in the store are going to look pretty empty if they lose some of these popular titles. And you also shouldn't blame a vendor as the #1 reason for your system to crash. Jobs basically called Adobe Flash junk not only in terms of security but performance.
Apple doesn't invent anything... they repackage ideas in their own shiny overpriced way and the Apple snobs eat it up. But the fact is Apple products have many flaws (ex: if your battery dies on your iPad, iPhone, or iPod... you have to buy a refurbished one; no replacement batteries) and shouldn't be throwing stones.
