Nope. Steve Jobs says flash is evil.
Hmm, he'd be stuffed if Adobe said Apple is evil and stopped developing for the platform.
If people really need flash there are other OS out there now that do offer it...

Yeah, I dont need flash either. May be one or two moments when it would of been nice but it's no biggie
It's what I dont like about the apple ethos. If I'm going to buy a product, it's because I want to use it the way I want to, not how someone else says how I'm going to use it.
There are specs that people have been crying out for years to be included in IOS. Jobs needs to get over himself on this. You cannot create a product in your own vision and expect everyone to adopt that vision.
Include the stuff, but have a roles & functions page to switch these items on or off. I mean fory crying out loud, how many smart phones do you know of that aren't smart enough to be able to bluetooth a picture to another phone out of the box? It'd be laughable if it weren't for the expense involved!
We're probably tapping into about 4 tenths of the iphones capabilites, and why? Because Steve Jobs doesn't want HIS phone to he used like that. I got news Jobs, it's the buying public that makes a product, you design and create it!
One day we may get tired of our requirements falling on deaf ears and vote with our wallets. I think iphone and ipad are the best products in their field, in the world. But, they're massively hampered by what amounts to bratishness!
You want to get rid of jailbreaking (no, I haven't and wont)? Remove the need to jailbreak. Why do you think people do it in the first place? It would still be under apple control as they would be writing the functionality.
Rant over
You should really research the reasons why Jobs avoided flash support on iOS devices before you write a long rant like this that just shows you've never really read into it at all...

If you 'research' my rant in more detail then you'll know I'm not just talking about flash!!! Bluetooth? Flash? I see no corelation there, maybe you missed my earlier post where I said flash wasn't a big deal to me. The iphone of today has still a long way to go before it can match some of the functionality as Nokia's N95! Steve Jobs has done the same with pretty much everything apple one way.
Why is OS X Lion just starting to use full screens? He always said there was no requirement. Now there is a whole load of fanfare because of full screen browsing........ Something just about every other GUI has managed since the invention of the GUI!
Steve is a genius in his own right. He's a visionary, inovator and I admire his strong beliefs but he could allow apple products to be so much more. For example, the ipad has the api's already there for touch sensitivity. Why has this not been enabled? It's a multitouch device for crying out loud. It's been massively adopted by artists and already has the ability to be a mini Cintiq and take a slice out of Wacom's market. Apple have seen the youtube videos but yet they still wont budge and unlock it.
So your argument here is that Apple products could be so much more by making them so much like other things in the industry?
Gotcha...
I'm not going to bother with any more replies, your obviously a fanboy and Apple never does anything wrong!
Awww...going with the personal shots now huh? Easy out when your logic fails...
I'll take a few minutes to retort regardless...
- Have you seen the Fring quality "facetime" type video calls vs. the actual facetime quality? I think that speaks worlds as to why Apple avoided (for now) facetime over the cellular network, Frings quality is PISS poor.
- iPad v.1 camera? Apple released the iPad to be first feet on the tarmac, to start the game and get the interest (hazard to say...TEST the interest?)...the market was there, the iPad succeeded, and thus, further polishing of the product...
Let's take flashes for example...cameras on cell phones have had flashes for quite a long time...why is the iPhone 4 the first to get it? Well it's pretty simple, flashes on cell phones are pretty much useless, INCLUDING the iPhone 4's, but to appease the masses, Apple decided "We'll put one on there, it can serve multiple functions now, from a camera flash to a flashlight, make it meet our quality standards and give them something they want (even if it is useless)..." Im sure there were hours of meetings on whether to include it on iPhone 4, as like every other flash on a cell phone, its still terrible.
You see...Apple (S. Jobs) have pride themselves on releasing products that work and satisfy...no non-sense, hardware that keep the usability and efficiency of features at the top of their list of importance...useless tiny little camera on the iPad that will drive production on a product they dont even know will be successful? Leave it off...test the waters...then if the shoe fits, polish up the product with a new design.
Its really quite simple here, you're just stuck in attack mode when it comes to this subject matter. The truth is, just because a feature exists doesn't make it a good idea to use it...Apple has been really good at making sure the stuff they put in their hardware is to a standard people expect out of an Apple product...what you're assuming is that Apple can make these features better so that they meet the standards we've come to almost DEMAND these days from Apple...in some ways they have...and obviously, in some ways they haven't, but while you want to assume its because they like to "hold out" or basically screw the consumer...i personally see it as a company that doesn't want to give us another Android or Blackberry, where the phone gets chalked full of features, many of which are either half wit attempts or just purely useless.
But you want to make this personal, call me a fan boy, and run around the playground like a 5th grader sticking your tongue out because i called you out on one of your comments and you didn't like it. Tell you what, when you can leave the elementary school playground name calling out...we'll continue debating this like adults...until then, enjoy recess.
