為什麼iPad 不支援Flash?

我想之前有看過iPad發表會的都會發覺, 瀏覽網頁時總是東缺一塊西缺一塊, 其實它跟iPhone一樣都是不支援Flash,當然兩者用的是同一套OS。 Apple是如此描述Flash:能夠跨平台及跨瀏覽器且立即部署豐富的網站內容標準。 可是這樣的遺漏卻發生在iPhone及iPad,當Steve Jobs正眉飛色舞的展示iPad如何炫麗的瀏覽網頁時卻發現原本應該秀出Flash內容的地方成為一處空白。 為什麼?"因為Apple不想要它在這兒",Adrian Ludwig,Flash platform的Group Manager如此說。 這是真的嗎? "這不是錢或者是技術的因素,在其他相似的裝置上我們已經成功讓Flash在上面跑,而且免費授權給製造商"。Ludwig描述著。 Apple目前的應用程式商店適用於iPhone當然也包括iPad,而防止其他類似的免費應用程式經由Flash進來打亂其佈局,當然它的app無法跨平台,而這是Flash所能做到的。 目前有個變通方式是會有個轉檔工具把Flash轉成iPhone app的格式,不過Apple畢竟還是有權利對這樣的應用程式是否上架做決定。 而針對這樣的變局,Apple也併購了一家專做線上行動廣告的公司,想要取代原本Flash在這塊市場上的應用。不過Apple在iPad上的策略有點在砸自己的腳,畢竟使用者可以忍受iPhone無法秀Flash,但在可以順暢的瀏覽網頁為主軸的iPad上,如果要在有85%的網站上都使用Flash的情況下宣稱自己是對網站友善,這就有些站不住腳。 除非等到Apple願意改變心意,短期內你還是會看到很多缺著Flash的網頁! 引用於: http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local-beat/Why-Doesnt-the-iPad-Do-Flash-82967272.html...
