Apple has a long relationship with Adobe. In fact, we met Adobe’s founders when they were in their proverbial garage. Apple was their first big customer . (~1620 words). . . New open standards created in the mobile era, such as HTML5, will win on mobile devices (and PCs too). Perhaps Adobe should focus more on creating great HTML5 tools for the future, and less on criticizing Apple for leaving the past behind

Bad move by Steve in my opinion, especially since he’s throwing rocks in a glass house himself by using incorrect arguments to defend his statements.
Even though he has quite some valid points, he is wrong or rather narcistic several times aswell.
In short, this won’t be the last that will be said about Apple vs. Adobe.

I think this whole Flash (Adobe) vs Apple discussion is getting a bit old. Incorrect arguments or not, Apple is not allowing Flash on their iPhone/iPod/iPad devices. This is now a fact. The discussion if this is legit is more a developer/platform discussion then a consumer/user discussion. The latter don’t mind in what language an app or website is build, as long as it works for them!
Thus if you want to develop rich interactive apps/websites for these Apple products, learn Objective-C and HTML5. Not that big of a deal :p.
