(OT) iPhone 5

Oh lord

 

These droid people are deluded mate, what's the number to the funny farm you use??

 

Flash was considered too buggy for Apples OS Flash Video and Flash Swf files are completely too different animals

 

I find the wifi connection on my iphone 5 is pretty chronic. Where I get three bars on the ipad and two on my sons iphone 3gs, i cannot connect with the iphone 5. Same issue connecting to wifi at work too.

 

Selective reading ? See my previous post.

apple can't be blamed for others playing catch up

 

Flash video is different and there are other players and other codecs and converter scripts used on the fly that detect the device

 

Everything I said it true which is why you cant refute it.

 

There are but all streams use flash which is why you cant watch it on your devices.

 

Bingo !

its like letting a plumber who ain't corgi registered free rain of your home boiler. You ain't gonna do it...are you????

 

You are if the other option is doing without and freezing to death.

 

I call that BS mate, the free ones are maybe, but there are better coded alternatives

 

**** it my iPad will keep me warm, there's an app for it

 

I agree but you cant watch football without flash which is what Im getting at. My browser uses html5 by default but then goes to flash if html5 isnt coded.

 

I caught one

 

Iphone maybe!

Emm, which pc browser you refer to mate? Half of the Internet has shifted from flash to HTML 5 so soon you guys will lose a point for your "you can't play flash on IOS "

 

Cerny, when you're platform qualified, try and get a transfer out to the Caribbean. There's a big ex pat community out here, the wages are better, and the weather's a dam sight better during shore leave!

My only problem with the 5 is my thumbs are too used to the screen position of the space bar on the 4 in relation to the bottom of the phone - I keep hitting too far down and have to edit a huge block of gibberish into words!!

 

Your clutching at straws now buddy !!!

have at this son !!

Will only be intermittent gigs for roll outs etc, albeit I love Caribbean woman

 

But can anyone say that Flash for even Android devices has delivered a great user experience? Choppy playback and poor battery life are the main complaints.

BTW Flash for Android has now been deprecated since 4.1, it's been removed from Chrome on the Nexus range, and while installing is possible it's a hack.

Windows Phone doesn't support it (allegedly, I don't have one), and development for BlackBerry and Symbian is ending. Flash is dying, and even Windows 8 will only have limited Flash support, and that's on the desktop. Sooner or later, everyone will have to move on.

Incidentally I read somewhere the other day that only 20% of all websites implement Flash ( http://w3techs.com/technologies/details/cp-flash/all/all ) down 5% on the year - and before you say that's a significant number, it's only because of legacy sites - no agency worth their salt would build a flash dependent site nowadays.

So like the rest of the world (in answer to your original question) most of us can't watch on our tablets (even if we have a device 'capable' of playing flash, simply because it's too flaky and processor intensive), we mostly use our desktops... but long for the day when the football streams catch up with what's happening in the 21st century and we can watch in bed, on the sofa, on the loo etc. etc. etc.
