Comments on: Firefox for N900 with Flash disabled. Ah, the irony… http://dani.calidos.com/2010/02/02/firefox-for-n900-with-flash-disabled-ah-the-irony/ Wed, 14 Apr 2010 06:59:27 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Constable Odo http://dani.calidos.com/2010/02/02/firefox-for-n900-with-flash-disabled-ah-the-irony/comment-page-1/#comment-747 Constable Odo Tue, 02 Feb 2010 14:14:45 +0000 http://dani.calidos.com/?p=232#comment-747 I wonder which annoyance consumers will least prefer. Seeing the Blue Lego Block of Ambiguity or having sites with multiple Flash banners load slowly and/or crashing. Apple seems to be interested in speed and no crashes. Most of the other mobile platforms are touting users can view any site in its entirety. It's a tough choice for low-tech consumers using smartphones. I'd like to see sites do extra coding for both camps. Flash for those that love it and HTML5 for those that hate Flash plug-ins. I'm hoping Apple will win by way of having the lots of devices by users having the most money to spend on advertising. Hopefully advertisers will force sites to use an alternate method instead of just Flash. I wonder which annoyance consumers will least prefer.
