John Gruber from Daring Fireball has published an article providing reasons why Flash should not be on the Tablet or iPhone.
In my “Tablet Musings” piece two weeks ago, I speculated that Apple’s imminent tablet probably won’t support Flash, for all the same reasons the iPhone doesn’t. Reaction to this was polarized — typically either “duh, of course it won’t” or “no way, it has to support Flash”. You can see both reactions represented in the thread on my piece at Hacker News. One group is going to be very surprised come Wednesday.
In his report, Gruber addresses Flash and Mac OS X Application Crashes, The Proprietary Web, and Flash Performance on Mac OS X. If you are a strong supporter of Flash and wonder why so many developers dislike it, this is a good article.
