imageAdobe To Stop Working On Flash For iPhone

Steve Jobs' dislike for Flash is well documented. The relationship between Apple and Adobe reached a dead end earlier this month when Cupertino announced changes to its App Developer License agreement that effectively banned the use of cross-compiler programs for iPhone app development. The move is seen as a direct...

    Google will use flash until an alternative becomes available so Google customers will get the whole Internet experience unlike Apple.

    i feel apple is trying to protect its business. if they allow flash content then their device would be at the mercy of flash (not to say thats a bad thing). even now apple needs google's map feature to run their the phones GPS.
    no one can blackmail apple or coerce them with HTML5 and Java script but if apple allowed flash, adobe certain could start trying to call some shots...
    but w/e, doesnt matter to me im just waiting for the JB for 3GS

    I agree with Jobs Flashblock is up and running on my firefox both pc and mac! Its really easy to live without poor vector animations... I haven't seen one proffesional services web page that was flash only. Let's say a Bank. How the hell scalable graphics could help me in making money transfer? Btw Cpu hog is very accurate definition

    Why do people Purchase an iPhone /iPad/Touch then start Honking loudly about the distinct lack of something that nearly every specsheet / review / blog highlights??? NO FLASH PLAYER!!
    Apple had a run in years ago with Adobe, when they were struggling (I think) & Adobe's attitude was screw you
    (IPH Admin, could you post the link you supplied on Twitter & help me out here, Adobe screwed Themselves I think it was)
    Apples choice is to try and force Developers to move forward with the times and adopt HTML5 as the next platform.

    Personally, I'm not fussed about Flash on the 'i' devices, on my laptops, I find it tempremental, crashing quite happily at random, does it on XP, Vista & Win7. Certainly hope HTML5 isn't as Buggy

    In conclusion,
    Do some research on the product you want.
    Don't get something that doesn't have what you want.
    Don't Honk about it, it ain't coming, end of story

    So some Developers leave the iPhone platform, big deal, for every one that quits, there's another emerging that will be versed in the latest software.
    Times do change, things become superceeded, Adobe will continue to progress in other areas, even though it seems a competitors software is being promoted by a major player..

    Adobe should strike a serious blow to Apple by no longer supporting os x with their CS products..

    Go back to 1996 when Apple asked Adobe to support their fledgling OSX and Adobe decided to go with Windows instead.
    Looks like Apple follwed the old sayings of:
    Bide Your Time & Revenge is Sweet :-)

    Javascript.. now there's a resource hog, wonder why Apple decided to support Javascript but not Flash? Well here's to you Steve Jobs! thank you for telling me what's good for me! My next phone will definitely be an Android phone.. not going to wait for HTML5 or whatever the gay to pull through.

    Well said!

    Developers go where the money is. It's common sense. They'll adapt and release their apps ON itunes whether they like it or not. Money talks, bullshit walks.

    Wow how old is everyones computer to be calling flash hogs? Are your computers built in the 90s? My laptop is only 5 years old and I can run couple programs. Flash games. And flash sites at the same time and have no CPU Speed or memory issues.

    Flash does not play nice with mac. Running even just one small flash ad on my MBP 2.2 ghz brings it to a crawl and uses up honestly 100 percent of the cpu.

    But im happy for Apple! Go away Adobe!! Can't you see we don't want you!!!

    Do people really use 5-year-old laptops? :o


    Unfortunately, I have to agree to an extent with Apple - Flash is proprietary, very much NOT open, and has always been as buggy as all get out. Flash (in the early days) offered a way of carrying out sophisticated processing (not just plonking some text and a picture onscreen) which is why it appeal(s)(ed) to banks and the like. Not really to do with the vector graphics, more to do with the fact it was a kind-of OS shell within which functionality could be run which was far more sophisticated than HTML could offer at that time.
