RE: Windows Phone 7 hits RTM stage
techiegz@... 2nd Sep 2010
People need to realize that NO MOBILE DEVICE NEEDS FLASH. Flash is an old technology built without mobility in mind such that it requires lots of resources to run and also crashes a lot, which is why Apple does not want it. Google is trying to squeeze it into Android but it sure is not working out well. And they both do not want to go Silverlight simply because it is a competitor's technology, well, they have no choice but eventually adopt Silverlight which does much more than Flash can ever do in addition to being a light coded solution. Of there will be haters of WP7 who fail to realize what it brings to market and also fail to realize that it is actually starting off as a much more advanced mobile device than any other one out there started off with and even their current state. Not too long from now we will all see the power it brings anyway, hopefully MS does a good job at good marketing unlike those they did for both Kin phones. Enterprise and consumer features have no match and things like cut/copy & paste, etc have already been acknowledged by MS as to be delivered via updates, so making noise about them makes no sense.
