I Don’t Think Apple Likes Adobe

July 9, 2008 at 8:51 am

I heard Adobe say that they got Flash working on an iPhone in their labs. That was good news, or so I thought, then I read that the iPhone SDK won’t allow for any plugins ala Flash. Originally we were all told, or led to believe, that technical hurdles needed to be overcome before Flash would make it to the iPhone. The longer the iPhone continues to not have Flash the less I believing that.

What gives? Why is Apple so against Adobe? They keep pushing Safari as the “real” web on a mobile device but last time I checked the “real” web allowed for rich content like flash.

My point being, if you’re going to market your web browser as the “real” web on a mobile device, it should be able to do everything I can do on the “real” web. You don’t even have to openly support Flash by having it come default installed, but atleast leave the door open for Adobe to make it. Let the consumer who just spent $400 on your device and signed away two years of their life and $2,000+ in service bills have the choice.

Artificial barriers are everywhere in mobile.
