Flash and Apple, can't we all get along?


Oh Apple and Adobe, how times has changed.

Anyway, some say Adobe is lazy and that Flash in the iPhone equals a world of hurt. Well, guess what: Flash is on the iPhone! Not as you think, of course. Adobe just released Adobe Connect Pro for the iPhone. So? It was built on Flash and exported as a iPhone app.

FEATURES:

Attend Connect Pro Meetings with integrated conference call or Voice over IP audio. Let the meeting call you, and avoid entering cumbersome dialing codes.

See who has joined the meeting, and their role (host, presenter, or attendee)

View presentations, PDF documents, videos, and screen sharing provided by the meeting organizer. Rotate, pan, and zoom to choose your personal 'best view' of shared content

View webcamera broadcasts from unlimited live camera feeds provided in the meeting

Participate in Chat conversations throughout the meeting.

Join meetings attended by users on virtually any computer system: Mac, Windows, Linux, and Solaris. Plus other mobile attendees on iPhone and iPod touch.


So, you still think Adobe is lazy? By the way, read this interesting article about Flash vs. HTML5. (In Defense of Adobe Flash - Reviews by PC Magazine). Now, don't get me wrong... I think what HTML5 can offer is outstanding! But someone saying one will eliminate the other is someone not seing the whole picture.

My 2 cents!
