FYI: Adobe Flash in Tablets, Does It Really Necessary?

When iPad was initially launched, many people wonder why it doesn't support Adobe Flash... is it simply because of our dear Mr Jobs doesn't like it?? While most of the website heavily use Adobe Flash animation to enrich user experience accessing the website, more dynamic, more interactive... and more fun with those online games... even Facebook becomes so much more fun because of Flash-based games!!

Since I am getting so excited with those Facebook games... I do initially feel that Flash is a necessary animal in tablets, I want to be able to play my favorite games while I am away, while I am waiting somewhere out there, while I am travelling by bus or MRT...

But... yes but!... after window shopping and trying some Android-based tablets (gingerbread and honeycomb) which support Adobe Flash... I guess I started to share Mr Jobs' sentiment... Adobe Flash is not for tablets (at least for several years to come), simply because it is too slow loading it in tablets (even using Wifi, let alone 3G) which processor and memory is 'slow' and 'limited', furthermore it drains battery faster... We should get back to the concept of the tablet itself and for what purpose it exists... even game console was not build using Adobe Flash, it is using its own Operating System and Programming Language!

The answer is out there... there are million of iPad owners can live without Adobe Flash in their iPad!! There are million people still willing to pay premium buying iPad which is without Adobe Flash...

While the existence of Adobe Flash in Android-based tablets still considered a plus, it doesn't give that much value... it just something necessary but not a must. So, iPad2 is now in my horizon... but still considering... still calculating value for money... still back to the basic question, do I really need it? will I use it extensively and for what purpose? so far, my iPhone still be able to serve me well... Arrrgghh!! why our dear Mr 'Genius' Jobs be able to make such attractive product which make our eyes so hungry... guess I need to count the leaves in the garden downstairs to make decision... buy... no buy... buy... no buy... he he he...
