So in our unscientific survey and counting using man maths and the fingers of my left hand we have :
People who can't survive without Flash = 1 (Robbie G)
People who don't really see the need for flash at all = 5 (everyone else - all wrong according to Robbie G).
Robbie - would you care to enlighten us with an example of a flash only site you can't do without?
I'm a BBC news/sport fanboi, it's the only website I really browse during the day, always have done, always will.
Using an iPhone to browse the site over the last 3 years was great, going from the mobile version (1st gen) to downloading the full site (3g, not fast but good enough to access the feature articles etc)
I've only had a desire for 2 months (less with the 10.1 update) but wow what a difference!
Listening to audio interviews whilst reading the story, access to the full video clips page, live stream + analysis when something big happens (tested it out during the popes visit
) and much more.
The performance is decent with nothing else running and flash set to 'on demand'. Actually, it's a bit smoother than my Atom n450 powered netbook
Sorry guys but using safari is like stepping back in time on that site. Given the great hardware on the iPhone 4 (and the ability to choose which 'flash boxes' you want to view) I genuinely can't understand why anyone here wouldn't want the option for safari?
(This is a tech forum right? I'm sure you could all find the 'turn flash off' option in the settings menu if you hate it so much?
)
It reminds me of everyone slating the iPhone 4s ffc/facetime...
