"There is no runtime"

Ah, so they got Flash on the phone by taking away the bit that makes it suck bells. Good job, Adobe. Amazing what you can do when Apple forces you to not to be craptacular.

Does that mean you'd like Flash content to run as non-VM-boxed binaries on your PC? Or did I misunderstand what you meant?

It just means that I loathe the Flash runtime on the Mac: it's slow, kills the CPU and as a result sends the fans spinning. This is one reason (beside the business ones) why it was never going to get on the iPhone.

Right -- and next you're going to tell us that each and every website that uses flash - you're going to install an application for on your mac.

Thank goodness they aren't as bad a case as AT&T. I'm still waiting for some Apple-y goodness to rub off on them.
