Flash is done. Even Google, who used to crow about how it supported Flash on Android has dropped it from their release of Chrome for Andriod. http://parislemon.com/post/17215781807/chrome-for-android-the-browser-for-the-1 BTW, the "better OS" is cheap and patently false flame bait that weekends your otherwise well reasoned response.

Like almost every problem like this it's because of Apple and there closed system. They do not allow Adobe access to code/API's in order for Adobe to get Flash performance up. Microsoft and Google (with Android) both actively work with Adobe to ensure Flash works well on there OS's. Apple do not do this and often do the complete opposite (not allowing it on the OS at all). Theres a simple solution though... use a better OS. I know this is old now… but i just wanted to say this problem was nothing to do with Adobe.

I have been trawling the net for days trying to sort out my problem! Thankyou very much. I have a Telstra modem here in Australia and have now got it working properly due to your post. THANKYOU! I did have it working, then it would not connect. I'd re install the software, it would work for a bit then stop again... Once again, thankyou. Regards, Troy. WOW!

For consumers & small business sure, but when it comes to big corporate there's still issues/challenges. We ran a bunch through their paces for a few months and while generally good we had issues with vanishing email & file syncing etc. PowerPoint display was also hit & miss which all combined to to make them a no-go on a wide scale for now... I imagine 12 months from now it'll be a very different story & I don't think Apple will own the market outright. I dunno if they’ve entirely cracked it yet but I’d agree they’ve gone a long ways.

If I can delay someone for another 2 centuries then well worth the extra character. Thanks The bit about increasing from 7 characters to 8 has made me change the way I do passwords.
