Not to drag out this conversation, but I think Apple doing this is a good thing in the end, probably for both companies. If you've been following the Adobe people on twitter, you see their talk has gone from iPhone, iPhone iPhone to Android, Android, Android (with a little iPhone hate mixed in).
I think this slight by Apple will have Adobe redoubling their efforts on Android. Google and Adobe have already been partnering (integrated plugin, swf search, 10,1, AIR, etc.), But think about the product that Android could be with Google and Adobe working together. It means Apple will have to produce real innovation in their future products to keep up. Mostly I'm hoping this is the case because I'm terrified of the computer world Apple envisions: Where computers are close commodity devices, like VCR's, spare you don't own them, nor the software on them. They can reach out and remove software, turn off handsets and features at any time, or simply decided to charge you additionally for that feature. Android is the only real shot we have at open handset OS -- and it really is a joy to develop on (compared to iPhone and Objective-C). Okay, sorry once again, rambling done.
