Motorola’s full page WSJ ad; It’s not nice

By September 3, 2010 12:45 pm EST Comments

Look, at this point, it’s no secret that Apple and Android are at war. So far Apple has been ruthless. Steve likes to make silent jabs at Android during every press conference he hosts. Whether it’s about activations, or apps, it’s not hard to spot. HTC and Google… well they’ve both done their fair share of defending. When it comes to Motorola and Verizon on the other hand, they seem to be the ones who are better trained to attack.

Ever since the release of the DROID Does campaign, you knew it was on. iDon’t do this. iDon’t do that. DROID Does it all. There has been several other (not-so) subtle advertisements from Moto like how you can hold your phone however you want, but this new full page ad in the WSJ just may take the cake. It’s bold, it’s simple, and most importantly, it’s true. Doesn’t get much more in your face than this:

Perhaps you were playing with pre-release flash, maybe you had a bad connection.... But I have an Incredible with 2.2 and Flash works flawlessly, my girlfriend has the original Droid with 2.2 and Flash works flawlessly, my brother has a Droid X and flash works flawlessly, 2 of my co-workers have EVOs and, wait for it, Flash works flawlessly! And 9 of the 10 reviews I've seen of Flash on Android the reviewer gave it much praise for running smoothly and the fact that you can turn it off if you have no desire to use it.

Great news and on top of that, Adobe has stopped working on Flash for iPhone and are focusing on Android only as of now!

I just wish there was some truth in advertising. Yes, the Droid 2 is technically capable of loading Flash elements, but even on the sample I got to play with for a while, it was awfully slow and clunky when displaying Flash content. I can live without Flash ads on my phone, thanks; especially when they cause a page to load many times slower.For everything else, web devs should get their act together and go with standards supported ALL major mobile platforms. Flash--which, don't forget, is currently only supported by certain versions of Android on certain Android phones--just makes the mobile web even more fragmented.
