Can Apple's Resistance to Flash Content Last?

This is Adobe Flash story makes me laugh. Microsoft is forced to put Flash into WinMobile to try to catch-up and compete with the iPhone and these dopey old bloggers see it as a competitive advantage ! Are they really that clueless to what's going on ? The iPhone already has e-mail PDF attachment reader capability and superior "media rich" functionality. That is why the iPhone accounts for 70% market share of mobile device web activity. Apple has that position in less than a year. Think about that for a minute.

Those "half billion devices" currently loaded with Flash....what good has that done for those devices ? You ever try using Flash-lite ? It sucks (and not just the battery) and that's why it isn't used much. This will do nothing to increase WinMobile's attractiveness vs RIM or Apple.

Now if MSFT could ever ship it's new Silverlight software for mobile, that may be something worth talking about. But again, these old time Microsoft apologists are just clueless to the real story out there.

A Beautiful Mind: Microsoft over Google

Is this a joke ? Microsoft and new user interfaces ? Did this guy ever use any MSFT products that try to innovate .....
> the train wreck called Vista,
> the revolutionary simple interfaced called Bob,
> the future of home internet called WebTV,
> the ultra portable platform called Origami,
> the personal portable watch device called Spot
> and the best of all....the hand gesture interface of the future called Surface PC (its a friggin normal PC with a bunch of jerry-rigged cameras under the glass and they still can't ship it)

So the idea here is that MSFT's user interface capability will allow it trump Google in search. Man, thanks for the laugh this morning.
