FYI: iproducts (ipads, iphones, i
anything else, does NOT have the
capability of viewing flash) ....yet.
To accomodate those devices that are
not able to view flash, we have set
it up to where your guest will still
be able to view the site, but not the
flash.
No Flash for iPads,
iPhones, or iPods
Here's why there's is no Flash
available for iDevices or other
mobile devices. Adobe was unable to
provide a product that was suitable
to the needs of battery powered
mobile devices used for Internet
browsing. Existing Flash technology
used too much memory, ate battery
life, and was buggy. Simply put Flash
did not work well on mobile devices.
Apple's Steve Jobs led the escape
from Flash dependency when Apple
introduced the iPhone, and later
introduced the iPad. There was a hue
and cry over the omission. Time
proved Jobs was right on target.
So this is why there is no Flash for
your iPhone or iPad or iPod nor for
most SmartPhones. Flash has been
abandoned by many sites in favor of
supported technologies such as HTML5
or by providing their own custom app.
Here is Steve Jobs official comment
on his momentous decision to omit
Flash from iDevices: Steve Jobs on Flash.
Here is Adobe's later announcement to
cease development of Flash for mobile
devices: Adobe on Mobile Flash.
Now, you are not necessarily out on a
limb. There are some apps that can
display some Flash, but don't count
on there ability to display anything
using Flash.
Apps that can display some Flash
content from the Web:
- Puffin
- SkyFire
- Photon Flash
- Browse2Go
- iSwifter
Also, note that many
sites that use Flash provide their
own app for accessing their material.
So check with your favorite sites and
find out if "there's an app for
that."
