What it proves is that it's simply false to state that Flash is a power hog.
That's what amounts to banality, Craig. What creates the excessive power
demands are improperly designed GPUs.
And unfortunately, Apple has a large market share in these handheld toys, so in
the past at least, their weight mattered. But that DOES NOT mean that there
isn't "market demand" for the correct solutions. Most people do not feel an
urge to make excuses for Steve Jobs' decisions. There's been plenty of
complaining about the non-availability of Flash, in these devices. MAYBE,
eventually, it won't matter. Then again, that same attitude will carry on with
whatever the new actual and de-facto standards will be. Non-support of Flash
was just yesterday's and today's manifestation of an on-going attitude.

Microsoft? Microsoft does not control the design of PCs, which is why you can
run any of a bunch of Linux flavors on any PC, whether Microsoft likes it or
not. Not to mention, any app anyone cares to write, whether Microsoft likes it
or not.

And this is relevant? How? Can you say Chrome? Can you say Firefox? Is Gates or
Ballmer telling me I can't use those? Or Linux?
