Apple takes on Flash.

A great letter from Steve Jobs (Apple, Pixar) thoughts on Adobe flash, and more specifically why it’s not on the iPhone/iPad. The biggest reason, keeping the web open source.

As closed off as the AppStore may be it’s a mute point when you consider the web, when Job’s speaks of the web being open he means any website should be viewable on any browser, on any device. Whether that device is an iPad or a PS3 running linux. Websites should be HTML based and not reliant on any middle man software to have them delivered to the web browser.

    Agreed buddy. When Steve puts ink to paper or letters to a screen, he certainly makes some sense.

    For me, the biggest browser crash is Flash and even though I have created some beautiful sites in Flash (my own included) I get much more excited about duplicating that functionality with HTML 5, Scriptaculous, and Prototype.

    Good post.
