The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.

Apple won’t add flash to iPhone because iPhone isn’t strong enough. iPhone only has 128mb RAM and 400MHZ, that’s average for a mobile phone. In order to see flash, a third generation iPhone is needed. Something with 256RAM and 600mhz CPU.

I don’t see why they put Adobe reader on the iPhone, but not Adobe Flash.

By saying that the phone has a future, do they mean creating some type of “flash” program on their own? I don’t know if the way things run would interfere with Adobe’s intellectual property rights, but its just code, anyone can write it once its figured out right? I’m not too savvy on code and writing actual programs, just on the consumer end.

@Falkirk:

As much as you’re hoping it could, I don’t think Apple is going to kill off Flash as a web standard just because they chose to ignore it. I’m sorry, but Flash is too established on almost every platform for a single platform, especially a mobile platform, to cause Flash’s demise. The fact is that iPhone users (myself included) are inconvenienced by not being able to view embedded Flash videos on many sites, and Apple’s reluctance to want to work with Adobe on integrating the software is not an indication that they are hoping it’s just gonna go away if they choose not to support it.

People just don’t get it. The last thing Apple is going to do is to integrate the proprietary standard of some other company into its iPhone user interface.

People think Apple needs to add flash because it is a de facto web standard. The exact opposite is true. The web is scrambling to adapt itself to the iPhone because the iPhone is already the standard for mobile web viewing.
