Apple CEO Steve Jobs cited six reasons to explain why blocking Flash iPhone

April 30, according to foreign media reports, Apple CEO Steve @ Jobs (Steve Jobs) Thurs an open letter published in a high profile. In this open letter, Jobs considerable Dell Inspiron 6000 Battery to explain why the Apple iPhone smartphone and iPad tablet PCs do not support Adobe Flash technology, the specific reasons, and has listed six major reasons.

Jobs open letter points are: Flash technical loopholes are many high energy consumption, originated in the PC system, it can not be in the Apple iPhone and iPad good platform to run.

Jobs open letter text is very long. U.S. technology website Silicon Alley Insider blog on the Jobs for this major reason cited was 6 summarized, they are:

1, Adobe is not “open product.”

Adobe said, iPhone and iPad does not support Flash technology, in fact, open products and the inevitable confrontation between the closed product. Jobs believes that this theory can not stand: Flash itself is a patented product. If an external company to use Flash technology, Adobe would have to pay. Apple iPhone and iPad is considering to support HTML5, CSS, and JavaScrip and other standards, these are the real open Internet browsing standards.

2, Adobe claims that any device do not support Flash, at least 75% of the network can not see the video, this argument is misleading.

Jobs said, iPhone and iPad users are now able to watch YouTube videos. Other sites are taking the appropriate measures to iPhone and iPad users can watch video of these sites. The other hand, most Internet video using H.264 format, which formats the video to play on the iPhone and iPad.

3, Flash existence of a large number of technical flaws, it has security risks.

Jobs said that, Flash is led Mac machine crashes one cause of the phenomenon, he cited the United States well-known anti-virus software developer Symantec (Symantec), said formulation, Flash security flaws are many.

4, Flash energy consumption will shorten battery iPhone and iPad HP pavilion dv9000 Battery life time.

Jobs said the iPhone and iPad if the H.264 decoder users watch video, battery life up to 10 hours; If you use Flash, then the corresponding life time will be reduced to 5 hours.

5, Flash does not apply to touch-screen technology.

Jobs said that, Flash technology originally developed for the PC, while the use of mobile devices in specific ways with the PC, there is a big difference, so Flash does not apply to use the touch screen technology, iPhone and iPad.

6, Apple want better performance, external applications, but not based on poor performance of Flash technology.

Jobs said the most important reasons for this. He believes that developing applications for the iPhone matters, Adobe is “half-hearted.” Adobe’s intention to do so is for external developers to develop applications on both the iPhone and iPad run, while in the Google Android or any other mobile phone platforms. Apple is opposed to this, but requires external developers to concentrate on developing high performance Apple applications.

Analysts said Jobs at Apple’s Web site published nearly 1,700 words of the Declaration to promote Adobe’s stock price fell more than 1%, because the Jobs declaration stressed concerns about the future of Flash.

Jobs, entitled “Reflections on the Flash,” an open letter to people listed in the HP pavilion dv6000 battery of complaints on Flash technology, made the Flash technology, security, technical defects and power management issues.

Jobs said that, Flash Adobe is a success for the business. We can understand why they want this technology to areas beyond the PC. However, age is a low-power mobile devices, touch screen interface and open Web standards, all of which are lacking in Flash. Jobs said that, Flash is closed because it is Adobe’s proprietary technology. Adobe control functions to the price from everything.

Many Internet sites are Flash-based video and games. However, Apple does not allow Flash in its iPhone and iPad the application of such products.

Jobs said, Adobe is mainly to describe our business-driven decision-making. They say that we want to protect our application store. However, in practice, which is based on technical issues and make decisions. Adobe said that we are a closed system, Flash is open. However, the opposite is true.

Adobe declined to comment on the news. However, Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen told “The Wall Street Journal,” an interview, Jobs pointed out that the technical problem is a smokescreen.

Narayen also denied that Flash is a closed platform. He pointed out that Apple’s restrictions so that those who make applications for a variety of equipment, open staff difficult. Narayen’s open letter to Steve Jobs as “an extraordinary attack.”

This is the first time Jobs 3 years attend the General Assembly, but also marks the return of Steve Jobs sick after the first non-Apple’s activities in public appearances. Jobs sick first public appearance after 7 months ago in Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference, he then also iPad Apple products such as conference keynote address. However, Wall Street Journal Digital Conference is a completely apples-led activities, and even the industry that this is one of the largest integrated business and technology conference, just the ticket prices as high as 4500 U.S. dollars. Several other speakers this year include Microsoft CEO Steve @ Ballmer (Steve Ballmer), Facebook CEO Mark @ Zuckerberg (Mark Zuckerberg), film director James @ Cameron (James Cameron), and AOL co- @ founder Steve Case (Steve Case).

The industry believes that, at the Wall Street Journal Digital Jobs General Assembly not only shows that the physical condition of sustained recovery, also showed that Jobs would like Toshiba pa3383u-1brs battery clarify a series of controversies surrounding the emergence of Apple, including the control of the news media as well as disputes between Adobe . Apple has dominated the event, Steve Jobs will have the ability to control the situation, and in the Wall Street Journal Digital General Assembly on the stage, he must face the question from all sides.

“Wall Street Journal”’s blog All Things D technology columnist Kara @ Siweishener (Kara Swisher) just said that Jobs had been “invited” to participate in this year’s General Assembly, but no further comment. Sources disclosed that Jobs has initially agreed to participate, but not finalized.
