No flash was a Job’s ego thing and he’s stepping aside. Adobe just released a huge update in Flash 10.2 to address Apple’s big complaint about Flash video being such a CPU hog.

If I am using flash on my MBAir it kills my battery life by like 75% so aparently this update helps by offloading some processing to the GPU. ---

Yeah, I heard about that 10.2 flash update… 10.1 beta was a HUGE update for me, it allowed my MBP to play 4K youtube without cooking the CPU. It also added an honest 1hr+ of battery life to web surfing. I usually have 10-20 tabs open at all times, ONE of them has a flash ad or two that kills battery life. Its terrible how inefficient Flash was, its nice they decided to address that. If they make it so it does not suck, I could possibly see Apple adopting it, but it will likely be a slow process. ---

Lack of flash support is the main reason I’m considering an android phone next. ---

There are browsers out there that allow flash on the iPhone. Skyfire or something. I have it but haven’t felt the need to use it ---

I hear ya Jack. I’m looking for Apple to adopt flash as a standard feature for the iPhone. ---
