Apple’s Jobs took on Flash

Apple’s CEO Steve Jobs was addressing to a meeting with representatives from The Wall Street Journal about the company’s forthcoming iPad device. Apple iPad Wi-Fi models will arrive in late March and 3G models will come in April.

According to Apple iPad is having up to 10 hours of surfing the web on Wi-Fi, watching video or listening to music, running on the built-in 25Whr rechargeable lithium-polymer battery. The UK pricing and international carrier availability is yet to be announced by the company.

During the meeting, Apple’s Steve Jobs has purportedly called Adobe’s Flash video technology a “CPU hog”. Taking on Adobe employees, Jobs said, “They are lazy and they just refuse to do interesting things despite having all the potential.” The Apple CEO also reportedly claimed that if Flash was enabled his company’s new launch iPad device would have a battery life of just 1.5 hours. Jobs dismissed Flash saying it to be full of security holes and of using old technology. He also said that Apple will never support Flash because it is so buggy.
