Another article from FAST COMPANY explaining that Apple has opened the door to Adobe, allowing content creators to use their tool of choice to create applications for iPhone and iPad. Most likely due to pressure from the huge amount of content being created on Android, and the success of it’s platform across multiple screens.
I just got an Android device, and let me say… this thing definitely has it’s roots and inspiration from Apple (thanks guys)… but it really blows an iPhone away !! And I can view flash content and flash websites on the device – no more running to my desktop/laptop to view content… it’s just the icing on the cake.
Some things are better suited for HTML5, and some better suited for Javascript — and the same holds true for flash.
If your looking to use a <video> , <nav>, <header> tag once HTML5 penetration is high enough then it is sensible, and if your doing simple image galleries, jQuery sliders, accordions or tool tips then javascript/CSS and maybe a combination of HTML5 is most likely the best suited solution for this. If your looking to do a creative treatment of an animated logo and display it over the web, or bounce a ball like the above video then flash is your best bet !!
Another great looking tablet device is coming soon.
The “galaxy Tab” by SAMSUNG looks awesome!!
It’s running FROYO (Android’s latest OS) – It runs FLASH — and got some great hardware to run it all blazing fast.
It also has a 3 megapixel camera, it’s a bit smaller than the iPAD at 7 inches and weighs half as much !
It appears that at the start 2011 Verizon will launch an application that streams Live TV to the iPad.
So, if you are a FiOS subscriber you will be able to watch the same TV programming on your iPad. You will also be able to watch on-demand video and rent movies similar to existing services such as NetFlix.
This will work through WiFi in your home that has the FiOS subscription.
The big differentiation associated with this soon to be launched app from Verizon is that you will be able to watch Live TV, as no other service right now has that capability.
