You are right! We need flash ads while surfing websites on a phone :grin:

Yeah ads. That's all the flash content that exists on websites. :rolleyes: I guess you have probably never seen a full flash based website. Never mind that. Try opening this website on your pc and then on the iPhone. *www.gsmarena.com/apple_iphone_3g-3d-spin-2424.php. See if all the content is loaded properly in the iPhone's browser.

I am not in any argue dude.. I know why flash is required and what for CSS and ajax is required! Still flash rules the web when we talk about dynamic animated content.. Lets not go in that direction.. :)

Why not? Let’s go in that direction.

Flash is used for only two things: Advertisements and videos.

Since YouTube is there on the iPhone, videos are already covered. Unless it’s porn you’re talking about, pretty much any video out there on the Internet is available on YouTube. I’m sure it won’t kill you if you missed one video that was exclusively available on Vimeo once a month.

And that leaves advertisements. I don’t know about you but I love the fact that there are no bandwidth hogging, distracting, and real estate occupying flash advertisements on any website I visit on my iPhone.

I can understand the complaints about lack of proper Bluetooth and SMS forwarding and copy-paste, but those of you who are complaining about stuff like MMS, flash, and Java are too myopic to see that the lack of these things makes the iPhone better, not worse.

Since both dragging and double-tapping are used for other things in MobileSafari, that thing wouldn’t have worked anyway. If you do want to see an iPhone from all sides, you can check out the 360º view on Apple’s official iPhone gallery or any of the thousands of pictures of the iPhone from all sides or any of the thousands of YouTube videos showing every single crevice of the device.

Seriously, krazzy, the argument in favour of Flash is a very, very weak one. You guys just want to have it for the sake of having it and that’s not a very good reason.

Man I don't understand this. How can you guys downgrade Flash so much when your own website Smoking Apples uses Flash for the tag cloud? And I have come across several sites on the Internet which uses Flash for it's entire interface, i.e. if you don't have Flash, the site won't work at all. Haven't any of you iPhone fanboys come across such site in all these years of internet surfing? How can the internet experience on the iPhone be complete (leave alone 'revolutionary') by the lack of such basic feature? And just because the iPhone lacks Flash, suddenly it has become outdated and unnecessary?

As for the 360º of the iPhone, that was just for demonstration purpose. GSMArena has of 360º views of several phones. I only chose iPhone's because the discussing is related to the iPhone.

No, it’s just that there is nothing, absolutely nothing, on the web that is done in Flash and critical enough for you to be able to view it on a mobile phone. You can view those Flash websites on your computer where you have all the resources and screen real estate that Flash based content typically requires. In my six months of using the iPhone, I haven’t thought for a single moment that, “Man, I wish my iPhone did Flash!” Not once.

As for the “fanboy” thing, I thought we were past that, really. If my intent was to defend all of Apple’s decisions regarding the iPhone, I wouldn’t be clamouring for Bluetooth and copy-paste either. And I sure as hell wouldn’t have spent three days working on a piece that completely rips Apple apart.

C’mon, I have better things to do than defend Apple for their wrongdoings. Of course, when it’s a genuinely intelligent decision, like not including Flash support on a mobile device, I can’t just agree with everyone else just because I’m outnumbered. It’s common sense, in my opinion, that Flash is way too overrated and completely unnecessary on a mobile device.

Re: iPhone3G owners discussion thread

AFAIK, Smoking Apples has a special iPhone Edition. And even if we didn't have, are tags so important that they must be there on the website? How would the ball spin with the finger being used for panning?

Man there's no use talking with you guys. Even if the iPhone Safari lacked the ability to display images in the web page, it'd been fine with you. :p

I might as well go and talk with Steve Jobs. There is a small chance that he might agree with what I'm saying. :D

Windows Mobile? Where did that trash came from? Only Symbian S60 phones support full Flash on their browsers. :)

Right and apart from providing full Flash support, symbian provides an awesome browsing experience. :)

And why should it not? After all it is based on the same WebKit engine that the iPhone Safari browser uses, one that you love and adore so much. :)

You are right. It is so easy to navigate to different links on a webpage, so easy to view full-size web-pages, and zoom on a specific column. Or zoom on a paragraph for that matter. Its awesome :)

Your description of the iPhone's browser matches that of the S60 browser's. It does in fact manage to do all that. And more. :)

Thats the problem. It just "manages" to do all that. :) Anyways, if you have a good video of web-browsing on S60, please share it. Enough discussions I think.
