  • Opera Declares Flash Support

    Considering the market penetration of Opera in Japan and vast amount of mobile Flash driven offering here.. not much of a surprise. Without getting too deep into a predictable flame war, it is ‘interesting’ that Apple opposes the ubiquitous Adobe product supposedly based on their aversion to it being a proprietary standard.. when in-effect they are clearly “guilty” of that approach in many ways as well. Perhaps the real issue would have something more to-do with the fact that Flash would potentially crack open wider access to transactions beyond the current closed App Store money machine.. so until then you have the distant dream of html 5.

    Machine Translation:

    The Flash support remark by these two companies is the one in Open Mobile Summit held in London on the 27th (European time). Opera cooperation founder’s Mr. Jon von Tetzchner says that he appeals for the Flash current support and commented, “It is Web technology supported by us and the one that only and is proprietary” according to Britain Reuters that reported on this matter. Mr. Alberto Torres of the chief of Nokia of the solution business section also is declaring the Flash support in the shape matched to this.

    A series of remark concerning Mr. U.S.’s Apple CEO Steve Jobs Flash is received and [ha] is ..one.. clear. these a series of remarks. He or she is assumed that the same technology as “Flash is only a bug, and most of the cause of the crash of Mac is due to Flash” was criticized severely by the meeting for in-house immediately after the announcement of iPad at the end of January. HTML5 is pushed as a technology, and it ..”Opening”.. is said that the reason why Flash is not supported was enumerated on the other hand , saying that “..Flash.. HTML5 is replaced sooner or later”. Afterwards, it is received to originate the edge in the remark of he or she, for the commotion to grow, and to have announced a new rule to shut out the development tool made by the third party including Flash in fact with the new publication of iPhone OS, and Mr. Jobs is making six reasons why Flash is not supported again public as a statement.

    It is interesting to be able to perceive the camp crack to the right in two starting with Flash even if very each vender’s real intention. ..However, this fight “Apple vs . : all other venders”.. though it is a combination. Via: http://journal.mycom.co.jp/news/2010/05/31/002/
