Due — never forget anything, ever again.
It’s a simple choice: do something other than Flash and get your content on the iPad, or stick with Flash and ignore the iPad. Complaining about the iPad’s lack of Flash doesn’t constitute a decision.
Update: Here’s the best point made:
“Steve has not offered a solution to that. Where is my HTML5 development tool? Perhaps he needs to try some Flash development first-hand to see what the big deal is.”
There’s a real need for a high-level IDE that does for HTML5 (canvas, JavaScript, video, audio, databases) what Flash’s dev tools do for Flash Player. Imagine the joy if it were Adobe that made it.
