Flash Support

Why is there no flash? Apple wants developers to make money if they choose to.

It's pretty simple. Apple gives you all the tools and you can use them to make great things, then they give you the option to make money on it and a huge customer base. This is capitalism at it's best. Yes Apple restricts some things, but only when it is a conflicting business. Sure Apple could support Flash but then developers are making free online games and trying to make money from ads. Nobody wins in the model except the gamer and I'm not even sure it's a win for them all the time.

Now a developer can make a game, put it on the iPhone, charge what ever they want, even make if free and they don't pay a dime for distribution, Apple foots the bill. They will soon have the option to have Ads that people will actually click on (we'll see how well made the ads are) and make the developer money. These are amazing deals and if you think there is a better platform out there, go support it. Stop crying. Apple is a business, they want to make money. But more than anyone else, they are making it easier for the average person sitting in their garage to make money too. They have blown the doors off publishing, music making, movies and games. Wake up. Apple gave you the keys to the kingdom and you're crying about it. We live in amazing times and you're nothing but a bunch of spoiled self indulgent brats. Now shut up and bend over for Steve.
