Question Flash on touch based device

I just read an article on Gizmodo:

http://gizmodo.com/5476641/adobe-fla...icking-cursors

Basically, a developer from Adobe explained why Flash is not in the iPhone/iPad, because Flash wont work on touch based device like that.

What is this?

Could this be true as well for the WP7S? Because it has capacitive touch based similar to iPhone.

No, that's nonsense, since Flash 10.1 already works on Android (it'll be included with the HTC Desire and you can already try it on the Nexus One).

Morgan Adams, the person who "explained" why it would not work is a ****ing apologist and a very poor developer, just go on the net and look up sites he "helped build" and it will take you no more then a couple seconds to understand he ain't worth ****. I seen monkeys arrange poo in more artistic way. He also happens to be a mental midget and played the shill when Adobe cut flash for winmo 6.5. So **** Morgan Adans and **** Adobe.

oh come on, we've got multitouch now

two finger scrolling = hovering
one finger scrolling = clicking/dragging

or vice versa, i think it would be easy for them to do that..

The way Adobe demoed it, either the flash window runs full screen (a game, a database app, etc) or you double tap the flash content inside a page and it gained focus so everything worked like it does on any browser (mobile or not) so screw this revisionist crap.

Adobe CS4 sales tanked after CS3 numbers, I am hoping CS5 sales will take a nose dive so hard you folks actually have to wake the **** up. Bitch slap extraordinaire in the mail for you jerks. Thanks for making it possible to compile native to iphone while taking a gigantic dump on winmo users after all that you promised. Nice to watch all those videos on Adobe tv with your developers running flash on winmo 6.5 machines. Shame.
