Cant We All Just Get Along?

When is APPLE going to make nice with ADOBE? Many have been waiting years for their IOS devices (iPhones, iPads, and other iDoohickeys) to run Flash. In re-doing my website, I was hesitant to put any Flash animation stuff up, as a large majority of of users are using their iPads and such to view the web. My last site was completely Flash based, so pretty much unusable to any IOS users. Hense the re-do.

Well,... I put up a small Flash animation this week (an animated Flash banner for my "PROBERZ" webcomic I do with my talented friend Clayton) and I realize it won't be viewable by some of the people that visit this website. Makes no sense. I don't see Flash going away, and not being able to access it limits your hardware. Why can't APPLE and ADOBE find a middle ground?

I'll be the first to admit, I don't know the intimate details of the roadblock, but I know there has been rumours that the iDevices would run Flash at some point,..... but I've been hearing that for years now. Which is a bummer. So for now, .... if you have any interest in seeing the silly fun animated PROBERZ guys walking in front of their logo, GO SIT AT YOUR COMPUTER. Not always that convenient.

Ideally, I'd like to create animated Flash banners for each page, but not gonna do it with the current lack of Flash support. <Steps down from soapbox>
