Adobe’s Answer to Apple’s Stand on Flash

I posted a few days back a blog on Apple’s reasons why Flash is not supported on the iPod, iPhone and iPad devices.  Mr. Jobs himself said that their reasons are purely technical and not based on business issues.  Adobe does not accept this and issued a number of statements to refute Apple’s claims.  They said they believe in an open market that lets both consumers and developers decide what technology to use for their contents – CSS, HTML4, HTML5, Flash and any other available platform.  Adobe published an open letter from its founders that says Apple is actually taking a step that could undermine the mobile era of the web, wherein any individual could publish his own content, which can be accesses anywhere at any time.  They also boldly said that nobody, and certainly not a single company controls the web.  Word war!

Why Apple’s Mobile Devices Don’t Support Flash

Ever wondered why Adobe’s Flash is not supported on the iPod, iPhone and iPad?  Critics are saying it is because of business reasons but Apple claims it is purely because of technology issues.  There is no one who can explain Apple’s stand better than the man himself, Mr. Steve Jobs.  He issued a statement on this dated April 29, 2010 in Apple’s website.  The highlight of that statement is that Flash was created during the era of the desktop (stationary) PC.  Today is now the mobile era where we have all sorts of portable devices that require touch interfaces, open web standards, and most of all low power consumption.  Flash is weak in all these areas and there is now an ever-growing number of media outlets that provide their content to Apple mobile devices, using open standards like the HTML5.  Mr. Jobs’ final word is for Adobe to lessen on criticizing Apple for not using Flash and instead focus on developing HTML5 tools.
