The title says it all really, as Jobs likes to say..."This changes things!"

"as the resulting apps do not download any code."
Nope. No flash. |
Re: Apple About Face on Development Guidlines - Flash to Follow?
Flash won't come. The main reason why iPhones don't have flash is because Jobs wants to charge people money for flash games they could play for free online.

Unfortunately people's way of dealing with the iPhone's lack of flash is not to make functional noflash versions, but rather to make an iPhone app.

Badly coded flash annoying banners/games/whatever suck, like they suck whatever programming language you can think of, IF the developers suck. The Unreal engine is awesome right? How come there's so many games using it that suck? So remember, when you see something made in Flash that sucks, the developer sucks not Flash. |

Make iPhone apps that are nothing more than a dumbed down version of a webpage / flash app. And you have to pay him for it. Not something that is able to run and look EXACTLY THE SAME on any device. |

Integration into OpenFeint doesn't even change that. So yeah. Flash is a go. So is Unity3D. This is a good thing; odd because they reversed their own, idiotic changes. But a good thing nonetheless. |

Apple got scared that Android will pass them by and scoop their developers. The number of "apps" has been iOS selling point for too long to dismiss easily, that's why Jobs cannot afford to lose any developers due to stupid restrictions.

I think our friend Jobs is showing again how marketing savvy he is. He continues to keep Apple in the Media's eye. I can't help but think this is all part of his strategy. He rarely makes a miss-step (cough, antenna, cough) and when he does his frustration is quite evident.

I'd call this a reality check. Apple iPhone 4 hit with an estimated 20% drop in sales due to the antenna problems; people flocking to other frameworks because of either openness or access to IDE's and frameworks that do not require extensive retooling for existing or already passed (by Apple's own App Store) products all because you inexplicably want everybody to use your toys, tools and ads. |

Step 2 Let simmer for a while, stirring occasionally. Step 3 Do an about-face and your in the news again, bigger than ever! I worked for a fellow that followed that marketing model from time to time. He pointed out that you can't buy the front page, you have to make news. |

This just leaves the door open for Apple to "invent" flash in a new and exciting way... :D
I'm sure it will be totally awesome and a game changer too! :rolleyes: |
