ComputerWorld: Adobe brings Flash-free-Flash to Apple iPad, iPhone.
“Adobe’s solution repackages content in real-time, changing the protocol to suit the target device, HTTP Dynamic Streaming or HLS, for example. This should mean that iOS devices will get much of the advantages of Flash video support, without the processor degradation and battery life cost of the format in use on other devices. Though we still have to wait a while longer until the ‘full Flash experience’ of embedded ads and so on makes it to the new streamed system.” They’ve taken a hit, certainly ... but HTML5/JS/CSS animation solutions are still in their infancy. A small window of time exists to get Flash completely working on iOS before the ‘point of no return’ is passed.
