I hate to see all the recent news about the gulf developing between Adobe and Apple, especially since I spend a large part of my day using Dreamweaver and Fireworks, two very powerful and excellent Adobe products. And of course, I'm doing this on my Mac.
I understand a little about both sides. When I'm browsing the web on the iPad or iPhone it is annoying to have all these websites that are not working because they used Flash. On the other hand - yes, they do crash. In fact, I've avoided putting flash on any of the websites I run.
Here's a little bit of irony: I just went to the Adobe site to get information about CS5, the latest version of their Creative Suite software (which includes Dreamweaver and Fireworks). I used one of their fancy (dare I say "flashy?") menus that shows product names and images - the webpage froze, viewed on Google's Chrome browser, with a message that the Flash Player had crashed.
You got that right. I am concerned also!
