The dispute between Adobe and Apple about the lack of Flash on the iPad continues to make waves. Recently, Steve Jobs would have qualified employees to the volatile Flash technology, adding that web developers would eventually move to HTML5 and H264 formats for video, supported by Safari and Google Chrome.
Adobe, which had already expressed on the subject after the announcement of the iPad, dates back to the niche through the voice of his CTO Kevin Lynch's blog editor, who tells us in passing that Flash has been developed the basis for "shelves equipped with stylets, 15 years before the market takes off" (sic). On the absence of Flash on a "magical device recently unveiled" Kevin Lynch points out that the Flash player 10.1 will be compatible with all mobile operating systems with the exception of the iPhone OS, and the lack of cooperation from Apple: "We are ready to Flash functionality within the browser of these mobile devices, provided that Apple provides this choice to its users.
Regarding the video HTML 5, the CTO of Adobe wants categorical: "I do not think that technology is called upon to replace another in the near future (...) If HTML can do all this that allows Flash, saves us effort, but it is not ready to arrive. . And Kevin Lynch back on the incompatibilities between different implementations of the HTML 5 video between browsers. Safari and Google Chrome in fact use format H264 while Firefox supports free format Ogg: "This may refer users and content creators in the dark hours of the site and its incompatibility". What do grind their teeth advocates open standards that will support Adobe's interest to protect its proprietary format.
