"Adobe points finger at Apple over Flash for iPhone

The lack of Flash of the iPhone has been an issue, complaint and breaking point for many current (and potential) iPhone users. It seems that Adobe is just as fed up as the rest of us and has started to more publicly blame Apple for the lack of this technology.

When a website requires a Flash plugin, it provides a link to a "Get Flash" page. From here and on most devices, you can download the appropriate version of Flash and be up and running in a few minutes. In the past, iPhone users have been greeted with a message that basically states that Flash is not available for their device.

A recent change, pointed out by GearDiary, shows Adobe getting a bit more snippy with Apple. The updated page now states that:

"Apple restricts use of technologies required by products like Flash Player. Until Apple eliminates these restrictions, Adobe cannot provide Flash Player for the iPhone or iPod Touch."

While this may not be "breaking news," it does say a number of things. For one, Adobe is clearly able to develop Flash for the iPhone and obviously wants to introduce it on the iPhone and iPod touch. This also shows that Adobe is very in tune of all the complaints and has redirected the blame to Apple."

Flash player for the iphone would be a disaster. Flash player for the Mac is already extremely buggy.

Mac and Windows are both PCs.

UGH!!!

But Mac has a reason, they don't nearly have as many problems with crashing, and viruses, as Windows does.

Apple sadly has not announced an update for flash so I don't think it's a plan in the near future
I know that Verizion Droid thing though they said the next year model will have flash so that's plus brownie points for me

No, A computer that runs the apple operating system as its primary Os is called a Mac. A computer that runs the windows Os primarily is called a PC. And a computer that runs Linux as its primary Os is called a linux-box.

Do you even know what PC stands for?

It stands for PERSONAL COMPUTER.

Mac, Linux and Windows are all personal computers
