The Macalope Weekly: Keeping the party rolling

But, remember, it's not a technology issue! It's just a business model issue.

Of course, it's true that it's a business model issue. But, then, the App Store isn't the only business model in this equation. Flash itself is a business model. Narayen only wants to talk about how liberating using Flash is, but it's also designed to lock developers into continuing to buy tools from Adobe, and Adobe. Adobe has a vested interest in making developers think it's the gateway to the Web.

"The value proposition Flash has is that we allow people to author programs once and get them to as many devices as possible."

Which is great, because the touch interface is the same as the mouse and keyboard interface.

Anyway, forget the iPad, Narayen says. Android tablets are going to take over because some of them--try to contain yourselves--have a stylus.
