I think pretty much everyone in the tech and design communities has read Steve Jobs’ Thoughts on Flash open letter by now. Published early this morning, it outlines a clear case for the rationale why Apple has deliberately chosen to block Flash from the iPhone/iPod/iPad ecosystem — not only as a plugin in their Safari mobile browser but as a development platform for “native” apps as well.
I just found out about this via a Tweet showing it running on a live iPad. iMockups looks like a fantastic way to create quick mockups and wireframes for Web pages or apps. After my previous post about OmniGraffle, it now looks like there will be at least a couple of tools in this category I will be looking at very closely.
Shock! Gasp! Looking at this recent survey, it would seem that developers just aren’t super excited about the iPad and if there’s anything out there to match the enthusiasm level we’ve seen with the iPhone app market, it would be Android. Except that’s not really what is going on here.
