The iPad has officially been announced and it did not quite live up to the hype of all the rumored and speculated features we all wished it had. One of such features is built in Flash support. Just like the iPhone and iPod Touch, Apple did not break any new barriers with the iPad.
Adobe has officially weighed in on the newest Apple devices and are not happy that Flash intergration is still not featured on these Apple mobile products. Read on below for Adobe’s response:
It looks like Apple is continuing to impose restrictions on their devices that limit both content publishers and consumers. Unlike many other ebook readers using the ePub file format, consumers will not be able to access ePub content with Apple’s DRM technology on devices made by other manufacturers. And without Flash support, iPad users will not be able to access the full range of web content, including over 70% of games and 75% of video on the web.
If I want to use the iPad to connect to Disney, Hulu, Miniclip, Farmville, ESPN, Kongregate, or JibJab — not to mention the millions of other sites on the web — I’ll be out of luck.
Adobe and more than 50 of our partners in the Open Screen Project are working to enable developers and content publishers to deliver to any device, so that consumers have open access to their favorite interactive media, content, and applications across platform, regardless of the device that people choose to use.
