    Huh. I never heard that. I remember everyone being super stoked that Flash was going to probably die because of the iPhone, and everyone loving it. (I didn’t at the time, but I get now why it was Flash that was itself doomed to fail eventually)

      Really?? Damn. It was a huge thing. Got a resurgence after the iPad came out and still didn’t support flash. Was a big circlejerk about it in every tech forum

        I guess I didn’t use those (or many other) forums. I don’t remember anyone saying much negative about the iPhone in fact. With a few exceptions like when people pointed out that it didn’t initially ship with copy/paste or downloadable apps. Most people overlooked those temporary shortcomings though, because: shiny.
