I find it bizarre that people love purchasing hardware where what you can run on it is limited. I also find it puzzling when I witness people buying the next generation of apple products (ipods etc) purely becuase it is the next generation yet their current device still works... Plus I thought you actually need to own a mac to do the compilation? If so thats another £867 for a super lame MacBook (2gb RAM and 250 gb HDD, are we back in 2007?) or a similar spec Mac Mini for £612. Its an expenisve hobby, with very little chance for revenue in my opinion. (No offense to Mac users, but they are seriously expensive for what you get) n/a

I own and iPad 2 and the new Blackberry Playbook, and I've got to agree with apple on this one. The Playbook has the same spec's as the iPad 2, but it supports flash. I was excited about this, but once you try to use some flash content on the web it becomes clear that a 1Ghz duel core just can't handle it. So I think the lack of flash is just Apple's way of trying to keep the device running smooth. All those flash ads that show up on some sites make browsing on the Playbook near impossible. n/a
Hagar Administrator Old klik fart Registered 20/02/2002 Points 1692	17th May, 2011 at 18:32:27 - Sure, but I would rather have the choice to run flash apps slowly on my device, rather than Mr Jobs deciding for me. For that reason I will never puchase an Apple IOS device. I fail to see how anyone would support OS imposed software restrictions... sorry dude . Plus even my Nokia phone has a setting to disable flash based content. The Apple products could do this as well to enable fast browsing. I am a bit of a free software / OS software advocate, so I really detest hardware/os imposed restrictions . Edited by an Administrator n/a

Depends what your idea of money is, plus I would never try to market anything I was not proud of. I know some people in the click community have made decent money from making decent flash games, but unless you manage to get a five minute wonder to go big (like farting applications or a "torch" for your mobile) the hourly rate I would earn for something I would be proud to put my name on, would probably be not that much at all. For example on my current game, I would hate to think of the number of hours I have put it doing 3D modelling and working on the engine, and that is just my hours. My friend has also been doing modelling and music in the studio. Hence a hobby and hence an expensive one. n/a

That's funny, because my Droid X only has a single core 1 Ghz processor, and it runs flash just fine, ads and all. Sandwich Time!Whoo!

I wouldn't recommend the iPad to anyone because I feel like there is a lot more value in a PC at the same price, but I won't say I can't agree with their decision to keep flash off the device. Besides, like many others have said before, free flash games would cut into app developers profits, and that business decision is one I would make myself if I were in charge of Apple. n/a

Microsoft got taken to court for less. I.e. the court case of bundling internet explorer with the OS, but at least with Windows you had the option of installing a different browser. Apple is monopolising its IOS platform yet no one seems to care, as they are the "cool" company, and we should all know competition is a good thing not a bad thing . n/a

There have been several people that were slightly involved in the click community that were making BANK on their casual games 5,6,7,8 years ago. Your piddly little $800 you made in 9 months isn't shit compared to the volume they were doing, and one particular "developer" I'm thinking of specifically was only making 40% profit on each sale, yet netting more in a month than you probably net a year.
