[...] Meanwhile, Faruk Ates goes the complete opposite: rooting for UX, lamenting the existence of multiple browsers, and emphasizing the need to make a buck. The debate expands further and we see clashing ideologies of democracy vs. walled gardens, free vs. paid business models, and so on.

Kevin, I think we’re making more or less the same point about the landscape of Flash web app development vs. mobile app development. Apple (and other mobile phones) doesn’t care that its apps aren’t compatible with other devices; that may be a good or bad thing but it’s certainly a head-scratcher with this web standards angle.

I concur with your main premise that Apple is in some way exploiting ‘web standards’ as a marketing strategy but I’m confused with some aspects of your post. It is true that Flash is cross platform but are all mobile apps created in Flash device independent? Isn’t this only mostly true for web apps created in Flash – this is what Apple devices do not support. Also web apps created with web standard tools should by default be available to users of Apple devices. So I don’t think it is a clear-cut issue. however I fully agree that Apple should be much more proactive in promoting and financially supporting the development of open web standards.

I agree it’s a smoke screen by Apple. Their very own technical documentation (linked above) fails to scroll correctly on iPhone..
