    Apple vs Adobe 

    I think Steve Jobs should cool down before he gets at odds with developers again… We all love Apple devices but we remember the history too… this is getting out of proportion. No software is perfect but Adobe has been filling the gaps for developers and artists for a long time… HTML5 has its place, but to forbid MDD and generated code from executing on I(x)Device is a bit too much. Developers and users should be the judge of what is a good platform and what is not… My family owns 4 iPhones but after this i’m looking more and more into Adroid (most likely the next smart phone for us).

      I don’t want to turn this into another Apple fanboys vs Apple haters thread, but flash? really?
      Microsoft today announced that the future is (as far as they are concerned) HTML5. Facebook announced that they are actively hiring HTML5 devs.
      The technology is moving on, while drama queens Adobe are crying around that Apple doesn’t want to support something that does not even exist (there is no Flash for mobile devices to date)…
      And just to point something from the history – a lot of people cried out when Apple killed floppy drives 13 years ago…
      I really want Adobe to release something so that people understand what Apple is talking all about…
      btw: Is should mean something that Mozilla removed Flash support from their mobile browser as well…

      Better yet, let’s build a Chumby!

      I spammed you a lot about Chumby today, Nick,. but it is totally worth it. I am going to buy the boring new model because it’d be cheaper and have 475 Mhz processor among other tiny improvements. Like I said before, radioclock is the last 20th Century tech at home and I want it destroyed and exchanged with a Linux-based multimedia-toting widget-rich compu-clock.

        You’re not spamming me, no way. I wish I had more spare cash to buy all the gadgets I can now only dream about! ;-)

          I get paid today (phew! another tiny monthly victory against the recession) so I am going to put 300 BGN towards a Chumby. I really want to check Facebook in bed without having to reach for an iPod.

      I have Nokia N700 lying around doing just nothing. Any ideas for some usage are welcomed…

        I could spend few hours telling you some application ideas or automation ideas, or I can just ask you kindly to give it to me. Knowing myself, I’ll settle for the latter. Who knows, I might get converted to a Maemo zealot.
