Note to advertisers: (including those who advertise via third-party ad networks and become, in effect, our advertisers): Your Flash-based ads are no longer reaching the most well-heeled customers online: 120+ million iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch users. If you care about reaching people with discretionary income, you might want to consider dumping your flash-based ads and moving to a more open format that people with money, and the will to spend it, can actually see.

Come on — how can Bberry be cool? It’s a business device for MBAs from the 1980s!

iPhone & iPad aren’t “brands” (they are products). Add them into the Apple brand and where does it come out.

Blackberry, the good old days in the spring of 2007 when being cool meant owning a Blackberry.

@Big Als MBP,
You have a typo there – I think you meant 1997.

@Cubert
Big Al was correct. Blackberry was cool in 2007 – until the original iPhone was released.

Lighten up guys, after all its Britain, and they’re almost late getting the latest and greatest, guess it’s the over zealous regulation of their government.

If Flash didn’t crash, was highly insecure or consumed 100% of the CPU for the most part there would be no problem with it.
As it is right now it’s just complete shit.
Its funny how RIM had Adobe on stage talking abour flash. Every one is pushing flash, not because it’s good but because it’s something Apple doesn’t like.

@poundpuppy – why do you think the UK is over regulated…I work for a US multinational and i can tell you most of the ‘pain’ comes from regulations out of the US…’Sarbannes Oxley’ anyone?
Tell me again…how many networks can we get our iPhones on here in the UK? Not everything is regulated
;-D

My My defensive little pompous ass aren’t we. My comment is based on my personal experiences doing customer acceptance representing the Ampex corp. for british customers on professional audio and video equipment, and various brits in the military and higher education. biggest bunch of dick heads and whiners I’ve every worked with, of course that’s just my opinion, but I can honestly say I’ve never met a limey that I liked.
