Nowhere in the article does it say that Apple will add Flash to their iPhone. Correct. I have no quarrel with that. The rest of what you said I will ignore. It's your conjecture, which means nothing to me.

Nowhere in the article does it say that Apple will add Flash to their iPhone. So Big Brother is making choices for you, most likely for monetary reasons just like the recent post about the iBookstore issue mentions. So Apple looks to be all about money and not about the user's choice. They were that way with Google Voice, with Flash and now with iBookstore. So that commercial back in 1981 was about big brother being Apple. How things turn... Forcing you to make what choice? Is Jobs putting a gun to your head and making you buy an iPhone or iPad? Last I knew Apple was a company that was entitled to make its own choices and you have plenty of alternative options.

Would that be...hmmm...Adobe, perhaps? I know personally that Flash is crap - it drives my Core2 Duals up the wall and causes my browser to take a dump regularly. Jobs is doing us all a service by letting the world know Adobe should take Flash and jam it up the company's.......! It's just like killing the floppy, or the CRT, or SCSI, or serial printer ports, or VHS, or the Edsel, or....
