Yesterday Steve Jobs posted an article on their website named Thoughts on flash where he expresses his motives for banning Adobe’s well known runtimes from any of their products. In response to Steve’s article, Kevin Lynch from Adobe, in his Moving forward article, stated that Adobe is moving forward concentrating on the Android platform. In the near future Adobe and Google will present (as a public preview) at Google I/O conference a new version of Android with Flash 10.1, and after that, more and more flash enabled devices will emerge. Kevin is not trying to dismantle Steve’s arguments because that was done a week ago by Mike Chambers article but only to let us know that Adobe’s future developments will not include iPad, iPhone and the new iPad.

I think the real reason Apple has been holding up a front against Flash is to get more OS X Developers. They want a large community of developers that know how to write Objective-C apps because those developers will also know how to write apps for OS X. If developers can load Flash on iPhones they wont need to learn Objective-C.
