Mobile market share

iOS counts for 61% mobile web usage, Android just 18%. This shows that most Android owners don’t even use their phone as a ‘smartphone’.

With Wallaby, Adobe is clearly readying itself for a “post-Flash” era that may be ushered in with the “post-PC” era. The number of devices which either have no Flash capability or only weak support will only grow, and Adobe doesn’t want to be cut out of the market completely. — Adobe targets iOS with Wallaby Flash-to-HTML5 converter

[Starbucks CIO] also said that iDevices from Apple are used more in its stores than any others. How important is that? Well, Gillett wanted to use Flash on the social network, but there wasn’t any way he could because of Steve Jobs’ refusal to support Flash.

So, Starbucks built its system using HTML5.

Starbucks CIO shows why next version of Windows is “risky business” for Microsoft (and why iOS is the best thing to ever happen to the Open Web).

Another gem from this interview: “He said that laptop usage is flat, or even slightly declining, and that mobile usage [including tablets like iPad] is on fire and growing a great percentage every month.”

What if the iPad were a PC?

If you count the iPad as a PC, Apple’s share of the US PC market is 25%. They just became the US’s number 1 computer maker.

A smartphone retrospective

This is what high-end smartphones looked like in 2007:

Smartphones were an established consumer-electronics market with devices that people thought were pretty cool, but often frustrating and with serious shortcomings and design flaws.

Then this happened:

Someone has it backwards — it is HTML5, CSS, JavaScript, and H.264 (all supported by the iPhone and iPad) that are open and standard, while Adobe’s Flash is closed and proprietary. — Trudy Miller, Apple spokeswoman (via davidkaneda)

The iPad will change the model of personal computing — not immediately and not for everyone, but for many millions of people the PC will begin to look like a dinosaur. — John Patrick, former vice president at IBM

Anyone who knows how to run Activity Monitor can observe that even the most trivial use of Flash within in a webpage eats up extraordinary resources. If Greenpeace were a legitimate environmental watchdog, it would target Flash as a bigger threat than PVC and BFRs combined, just by the composite amount of energy it consumes to do absolutely nothing of value. — Inside Apple’s iPad: Adobe Flash

Adobe needs to turn Flash into the webbook operating system of tomorrow, investing heavily in its performance and reliability and offering it as a framework solution to hardware vendors who use the Flash technology and tools to create a customized OS for their own touchscreen tablet devices, then in turn letting the existing installed base of Flash designers & Flash developers build apps for this new platform. No more “Windows 7 in a tablet form factor”; something that leverages web technologies as much as possible, as best as it can, and uses Flash for the things that web technologies can’t do. — The Future of Flash, on FarukAt.eş

Apple's iPad: redefining the email experience

Everyone’s talking about the iPad right now. I’ve been thinking about how it’ll affect email marketers. I believe it’s going to redefine the experience of reading email, along with some…

Seriously, this is the real deal — full-screen H.264 playback with no Flash, no browser plugins, full iPhone OS support, and sane CPU usage, better in every single regard than any video player ever made with Flash. — SublimeVideo - HTML5 Video Player (quote via Daring Fireball)

The real situation is that today, two and a half years after the iPhone debuted, web developers can no longer count on every viewer being able to render Flash. The percentage of web user agents with Flash installed is now going down, not up. My money says that trend is permanent, and further, it’ll reach a tipping point in the not-so-distant future and Flash will turn into something like Internet Explorer. — John Gruber

How would you use flash on an iPad or iPhone though? Anything Flash that requires the keyboard and the mouse at the same time wouldn’t work… Anything that uses arrow keys wouldn’t work… Hovering over controls for drop down menus on flash websites wouldn’t work… Enabling Flash wouldn’t do ***** all but enable ads, why exactly do we want this so bad? — One of the best arguments against flash on the iPhone/iPad yet (apart from the fact that flash is not a web standard, not open source, slow and buggy on the Mac and is fast becoming obselete)
