Lol, from the site you linked.

This isn’t the first time Wozniak has warned Apple that it might be losing its edge. Earlier this month, he said that Apple was falling behind other smartphone makers.

The co founder of apple doesnt even use an iphone and says he wishes the iphone could do all the stuff android could do.

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.

Flash is horrible, I agree but you cant watch football without it. Something that should be important to everyone on the board no?
 
Why can't they stream on whatever Netflix uses. Its brilliant quality, even when played on telly via the ipad.

Absolutely! It's a Flash stream on the desktop only for me (and probably most of us) at the moment, but someone soon will bite the bullet and flip to HTML5, and if its not Firstrow or one of the other bigger ones then a new player will seize the market and make a killing on ad revenues. Can't wait for the day that I can sit on a bus or a train and watch a game on my phone...

Which is why Apple are suing Samsung all over the place, they make better kit, that never used to be the case when android phones were cheaper but now they are more powerful and look better.
