Mr. Jobs the Great and Flash
So Mr. Jobs the Great had his “Thoughts on Flash” today.
The most important question to me, why he post such a public letter dedicated on Flash?
He fears.
A large number of devices, from Google, HP (with Palm), RIM, and other big companies, attacking the market share of iPhone, iPad very soon, with Flash. It’ll be threat for his early comments on Flash. He fears his words broken.
His App Store was a great success, but his decision to kick CS5 out from iDevices, which also drive away developers who planned to write apps with Flash. Instead he hoped us developing with Apple-C (yes we can, but we choose not), lots of CS5 developers will develop apps for his competitors. He fears his store no longer moving to next billions.
As one of the greatest CEO in the world (yes exactly he is, with great respect), he fears the decision to reject Flash, Flash designer/developer community is a fault, he’s now on the top of mountain, higher risks than his days in the valley. He fears he’ll no longer Mr. Jobs the Great.
We believe in Choice
Mr. Jobs believe in choice, other than Flash, developers can write application with Apple-C, or Javascript. We too, we believe we have options to use better tools at our hands, not forced to use specific technologies. If Mr. Jobs did the right decision, there will be a number of developers use Flash to develop apps quickly, if we find some performance or other problems, we can rewrite with Apple-C not Flash for best user experiences for consumers (we can even write with assembly).
Otherwise, the choice for iDevice, return -1.
