I think saying the only purpose is to for Adobe to "embarrass" Apple is a bit too cynical.
I think it's more likely that they are trying to get some public customer pressure going. But that won't work, either. More detail http://soi.kd6.us/2008/10/03/so-i-doubt-well-get-flash-or-java-on-the-iphone/ but basically, Flash and Java would break Apple's control over the iPhone platform - the control that they've tried to maintain by not releasing an SDK until forced to by the community, then keeping that SDK under tight wraps until it was forced open, and by keeping the applications developed with the SDK tightly controlled both in distribution and in functionality. When users and developers defect to other platforms, and when Adobe and Sun deliver versions of Flash and Java that let Apple control the applications delivered to the iPhone, Apple will let it happen. kb BikingBill wrote: > It was Adobe's attempt to embarrass Apple.
