Apple Thoughts: Adobe Not Happy With Apple

"Even in the age of blogs, this has got to go down as a first for corporate PR. Adobe is telling Apple to "go screw yourself" over the new iPhone developer's license that appears to ban apps made with Adobe's Flash-to-iPhone programming tools."

To quote Lee Brimelow, Adobe's Flash Platform Evangelist: "What is clear is that Apple has timed this purposely to hurt sales of CS5. This has nothing to do whatsoever with bringing the Flash player to Apple's devices. That is a separate discussion entirely. What they are saying is that they won't allow applications onto their marketplace solely because of what language was originally used to create them. This is a frightening move that has no rational defense other than wanting tyrannical control over developers and more importantly, wanting to use developers as pawns in their crusade against Adobe."

Sounds pretty whiney to me, and I seriously doubt that the destruction of Adobe is foremost on anyone's mind at Apple. They don't want flash on their devices, big deal, get over it and move on.
