Steve is employing several tactics used by politicians. The iphone is not open. Their app store is a money making machine and they guard it fiercely. If their web browser was able to deliver flash content, there would be no need to deliver apps as you could just have a set of bookmarks of flash apps.
How much money have they made off silly little animated games selling for $1.99 that were developed YEARS ago in flash that had to be redeveloped for their platform? And they have control over approving what apps are allowed. He says that apple gave adobe some support to make a flash player for the mac if that is the case perhaps those engineers purposely made it buggy on their platform so people wouldnt want to use flash? Its no coincidence that they are driving the html 5 standard to fit within their own codebase, which gives their developers a lead since they are the ones writing the code that interprets/renders that content and others will have to do the slower reverse-engineering which puts their platforms behind in the race. Every inch counts. Personally, Im switching from my iphone to nexus html 5 does not have anywhere near the level of development tools that flash does when my phone can run an air app I will be a very happy camper indeed. I would bet all the money in my bank account that we will have flash on a phone this year, so just hold tight. Dont drink Steves koolaid guys hes declared war and the tactics hes using, the insults hes throwing about adobe not being open and so on they are just plain immature. When the iphone first came out I loved it. I put an apple sticker on my motorcycle helmet after having been a PC guy my entire life. But now.. now Im tearing that sticker off. I am shamed to represent this man.
