Sorry I should make something clear playing games and streaming video on device like a phone/Internet Tablets/ PDA has been very dissatisfying and that is true.
It's also an entirely new field, seeing as how it's only been in the last 3 years that people have seriously pursued doing as such.

Your wrong to compare Adobe to Microsoft because they don't force you to view content on one Browser and One operating system.
But they do require I use their proprietary software, and if they suddenly decide to not support my system for whatever reason, I'm instantly locked out with zero recourse.
