Flash Joins with iPad
Jul 9th
Although some solutions have been available to bring the Flash animations on IOS, in particular with the use of an instrument signed Adobe (later abandoned), a developer was able to install the Flash Player to Apple’s terminal, allowing graphics animation with native fluency.

“Frash” is the result of porting environment for the implementation of Flash for Android. Frash allows playback of most Flash animations natively by Safari Internet browser. The extension currently only works on iPad, while 4 and iPhone 3G will be supported in coming months. Frash will be made available free of charge, when its final version will be stable. If the final release will be effective, this utility (which fills a lack of iPhone and iPad) is likely to be discharged by the holders of terminals Unofficial Apple App Store.
The first consequence will surely be the removal of customers from Apple’s App Store. The only solution company in Cupertino is to retrace his steps and accept Flash. What will happen?

In a statement, Amazon says they have no choice: “In the end we capitulate and accept the conditions of Macmillan, as the publisher holds the monopoly on some titles and we would have had to offer at a price too high for an ebook” .
For this reason, Amazon has decided to remove the titles published by Macmillan, as a sign of disagreement. And ‘interesting to note that the sale of books through Amazon will prove more convenient for the publishing house, but the moment remains firm on his decisions. With the commercialization proposal to 12.99 and 14.99 euros, Apple has managed to win at least five of the six largest publishers: Macmillan, Hachette, Penguin, Harper Collins and Simon & Schuster.
