Steve Jobs ha scritto sul sito di Apple una lunga lettera sulla querelle fra Apple e Adobe per Flash<\/a><\/p>\n

Flash was designed for PCs using mice, not for touch screens using fingers. For example, many Flash websites rely on \u201crollovers\u201d, which pop up menus or other elements when the mouse arrow hovers over a specific spot. Apple\u2019s revolutionary multi-touch interface doesn\u2019t use a mouse, and there is no concept of a rollover. Most Flash websites will need to be rewritten to support touch-based devices. If developers need to rewrite their Flash websites, why not use modern technologies like HTML5,\u00a0CSS\u00a0and JavaScript?<\/p>\n

Even if iPhones, iPods and iPads ran Flash, it would not solve the problem that most Flash websites need to be rewritten to support touch-based devices.<\/p>\n

Besides the fact that Flash is closed and proprietary, has major technical drawbacks, and doesn\u2019t support touch based devices, there is an even more important reason we do not allow Flash on iPhones, iPods and iPads.\u00a0We have discussed the downsides of using Flash to play video and interactive content from websites, but Adobe\u00a0also wants developers to adopt Flash to create apps that run on our mobile devices.<\/p>\n

…<\/p>\n

Flash was created during the PC era \u2013 for PCs and mice. Flash is a successful business for Adobe, and we can understand why they want to push it beyond PCs. But the mobile era is about low power devices, touch interfaces and open web standards \u2013 all areas where Flash falls short.<\/p>\n

The avalanche of media outlets offering their content for Apple\u2019s mobile devices demonstrates that Flash is no longer necessary to watch video or consume any kind of web content. And the 200,000 apps on Apple\u2019s App Store proves that Flash isn\u2019t necessary for tens of thousands of developers to create graphically rich applications, including games.<\/p>\n

New open standards created in the mobile era, such as HTML5, will win on mobile devices (and PCs too). Perhaps Adobe should focus more on creating great HTML5 tools for the future, and less on criticizing Apple for leaving the past behind.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
