What do people want Flash for?

[DebianDog]

I mean yes it is nice for those websites that do not have a moblie version but they are few and far between. I just really fail to see any "want" for Flash on my phone. As a mater of fact I go out of the way to block Flash on my laptop so I do not get all the stupid animated ads.

What exactly am I missing out on?

Why, those stupid animated ads!!!!

Flash is absolutely necessary for certain web sites. Say I want to go check the schedule at MLB Extra Innings. I can't even move the schedule without flash.

Different animations, all kinds of stuff. If you don't have it many web sites will tell you to go install it.

Ya. I agree. Everyone wants it. The only time I would ever use it is if I happen to want live tv

It's nice to know it's available for when I do need it. Like everything else with the Droid it's nice to have the option.

Also it gives CorinaCakes the joy of seeing a woman slap a guy around continuously.

It is a great tool. My wifes website uses flash on the opening page. A lot of times she has to use her phone to show the webpage off when she is not near a computer. It is simple flash but it makes the site start off good. People just love extras and flair on the web.

Because the iPhone doesn't have it. Honestly, that's the only reason I care.

Has anybody actually seen flash work well on the Droid? The way I see it, if they're going to all this trouble to have flash on 2.2, and advertise it, and all of that, it needs to work at least somewhat well. I have yet to see it be more than a choppy, sub-par attempt at the true flash experience. Maybe (hopefully) that'll change by the time it is finally (officially) released, but at this point, it really feels forced on the Droid.

I guess it is just another form of controlled advertisement. I run into that dumb little blue block all the time and its not porn. A lot of performing artists are propped up by label websites driven by flash. The rest, now that I think about it were just selling something. Maybe I don't need it as much as I thought. I've found some sites that link to alterior content that leaves one feeling like they're running some outdated prehistoric OS. I hope they resolve soon who gets what money & release the update so I can voice dial my Bluetooth and view any web content I want which is the impression I was instilled with by Verizon when I bought in.

I don't lol and, on all the sites I dev I only use flash when there is no other option. I choose flash instead of any other format in them instances.

I know like over 98% of the users that visit will have flash already installed to there browser. And no body wants to install a plugin that they have never really herd of just for one site.

So to me I think flash is almost a standard for any modern browser to have. Android is a smart phone OS and it want's to meet and pass all standards.
