Wait, I'm confused... Does the Droid X come with Flash? No, I don't think so. Android 1.0 up to 2.1 is kinda like China*, right?

I don't like where this is going either. There used to be a time were we all hated Flash because it sucks. Now some people feel the need to defend it, just because they hate Apple even more.

* I'm not even bothering to say that you should not conflate the nation and people of China with its government. If you say that something is "like China" I would expect that you're referring to the most ancient and sophisticated of all civilizations. If, on the other hand, you blamed a whole people for their leaders' human rights abuses you would probably be a racist.

It’s funny that Apple was one of the first companies to invest into Adobe And that 2 companies worked very closely, but since that they have grown apart.

Heh seems any post that mentions Apple and Flash together becomes a small flame war battlefield these days.

Initially I found this story kind of funny that you can’t enter Android phone site from Apple device

But other then that that just shows that iOS web experience will never be complete while world does not completely satisfied with Steve’s pluginless web vision(or delusion).

this Droid site runs fine on a netbook that has usb ports, has a camera, that can access the full web, that’s half the price of a half-baked iPad

I think messing with flash by non pro is very hard that is why.

I still don’t understand what Apple has against Adobe. And I also can’t figure this out, how is it that, there is no external cracked Flash, which is suited for Apple products?

Are we seeing the bad old days wherein different Telcos were not interconnected due to competition? If this what Apple and Droid wants to do, well, its not the consumers who will lose but themselves. Both applications should be interconnected, they will benefit from it more than anyone.

I looked at the Droid Does flash website. Your're not missing much. What value did that Flash "intro" provide for you? Its a gimmicky mess of a promo page imo.

Besides, this kind of stuff happens all the time in other ways. Have you ever tried to set up a campaign on BING Ad Center using a Mac running Safari?

You can't do it. They don't support the OS or the Browser. Now thats what I call FAIL. I was trying to give them my money!

The Droid series aren’t made / designed by Google, yes the use Google’s Android software but they’re a third party phone, designed by Verizon and produced by HTC.

The Nexus One and it’s full HTML website (http://www.google.com/support/android/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=166593), is Google’s work however.

This reflects not at all on Apple. They decided not to support flash before Android existed. This is Google's fault for perversely making the website designed to sell their mobile device not work on mobile devices.

When a website fails to load because a plugin isn't installed, that is a bad website and the failure is nobody's fault but the web designer. That Google of all people would make such a website is baffling.
