Posted 29 April 2010 | By Evan Selleck | Categories: archive | No Comments

And yes, we’ve got the full letter for you after the break. It seems that Steve Jobs has just grown tired with all the hyperbole being shot around, and wanted to clarify his own position, along with the position of Apple as a whole, on why Flash Player won’t be implemented on any iPhone, iPod/Touch, [...]

One of the more frustrating things about going to Facebook’s site from your iPad is the fact that if one of your friends have posted a video, or you want to catch a movie trailer from a fan page, you just can’t. Up until now you got a message telling you that you need to [...]

Welcome to another edition of Everything iPad’s week in review. It’s been a pretty intense week, with the iPad catching some major flack for WiFi inconsistencies. Along with a few fun stories, it seems that the iPad isn’t going to leave the consumer’s attention any time soon. And we can’t help but think that’s a [...]

Wired iPad App Will Use Flash

Remember, back at the beginning of March, we brought you that story, saying that the publisher Conde Nast would support the iPad by bringing several different printed magazines to the digital realm. And, in that story, we said that the major publisher was going to see where the Adobe/Apple war went, as Adobe’s Flash Player [...]

Flash Wars: Publisher Condé Nast Will Support the iPad

Posted 01 March 2010 | By Evan Selleck | Categories: archive | 1 Comment

Another installment within the Flash Wars, this time brought to you by a major publisher. With this piece, though, we can at least say that the publisher in question is going in the right direction with their distribution model. And considering the large swathe of products they are ready to launch for Apple’s tablet, we’re [...]

Flash Wars: Adobe Chief Executive Shares His Two Cents

Posted 26 February 2010 | By Evan Selleck | Categories: archive | 1 Comment

Right now, the industry is pretty weary of any news revolving around Apple and Adobe. It would seem to the majority of us that the proverbial dead horse has been beaten enough, and there’s not much else to say. That’s just not the case, it seems. There are more voices that (apparently) need to be [...]

Flash is a Threat to the App Store, Except It Isn’t

Posted 22 February 2010 | By Evan Selleck | Categories: archive | 1 Comment

We’ve made a few assumptions on this site, along with inside the forums amongst conversation, about why or why not the iPad is going to support Flash. Of course, it’s leaning more towards why not, but that’s not a bad thing. Truth be told, Adobe’s Flash Player is a resources hog, and everyone knows it. [...]

Feel like laughing this morning? Well then, we’ve got the perfect story for you. It seems that someone, somewhere, had a little slip up, and have managed to put the “old” iPad New York Times promotional video back up. You remember the video, right? It’s the one that caused all that fuss about Flash working [...]

Everything iPad Week in Review — Week 7 2010

Posted 21 February 2010 | By Evan Selleck | Categories: archive | No Comments

Another week gone by, another week in review. There was quite a bit going on this week in Apple/iPad talk, but most of it seemed to stem from the same issues: eBooks, pricing, subscriptions, and Flash. These are the big, burning questions for Apple since the announcement of the iPad, and issues that won’t seem [...]

Adobe Executive Says Flash is Getting Improved for Mac

Posted 17 February 2010 | By Evan Selleck | Categories: archive | 1 Comment

If you’ll recall, Steve Jobs isn’t a big fan of Adobe’s Flash Player. In fact, he’s scorned the software for almost three years now on the iPhone, and since the announcement of the iPad things haven’t changed. People were more shocked to see Flash videos working just fine in promotional material, but when they were [...]
