Apple is now building HTML5 to against Adobe, especially on its Flash.
which it charged reasonable prices and built cross platform products and
the people rejoiced and Adobe’s death was spared and it lived
comfortably for many days next to Apple.
What are the
reasons behind the confrontation?
Generally, this
confrontation is about Apple and Google, not even Apple vs Adobe. Google
is the owner of Adobe, and the two are very antagonists. On one hand,
Apple wants to dominate the multimedia world by offering protective and
restricted products. On the other hand, Google is in favor of
multi-platform and open standards.
When knowing this, it is easy
to see where Apple's grudge is coming from: Google/Adobe is threatening
Apple's multimedia domination by offering a free platform, on which
anyone can develop and freely share content.
I'm not meaning that
Google/Adobe is without fault: They stabbed Apple in the back when they
started their own product line (including Android), but they are now
paying a very high price for that.
What is the advantage of
HTML5 over flash?
There is no obvious answer at present. As
far as I know, HTML 5 is slower than flash for load time but it seems to
be a faster streaming speed than flash.
I guess for those who
have an IPAD currently HTML5 is great due to the lack of flash support.
HTML5 will be a competitior to the flash market but i dont think it will
be as good untill full deployment happens.
The main advantages
of flash. It seems to be slightly less CPU usage but less is still good.
I would say that they are good at what they do.I can't see an overall
winner as HTML5 hasn’t been around long enough.
"Google is the owner of Adobe" You have a crystal ball there or something?
"offering protective and restricted products" HTML5 is open. Flash is proprietary. Go figure.
