Obviously still sore from Apple’s ongoing strategy of locking Flash out of its iPhone OS products – including the new iPad – Flash creator Adobe has once again launched a scathing attack on the Mac platform holder.
“Some have been surprised at the lack of inclusion of Flash Player on a recent magical device,” begins a fresh blog post from Adobe CTO Kevin Lynch.
“We are now on the verge of delivering Flash Player 10.1 for smartphones with all but one of the top manufacturers. Flash in the browser provides a competitive advantage to these devices because it will enable their customers to browse the whole Web.
“So, what about Flash running on Apple devices? We have shown that Flash technology is starting to work on these devices today by enabling standalone applications for the iPhone to be built on Flash. This same solution will work on the iPad as well.
“We are ready to enable Flash in the browser on these devices if and when Apple chooses to allow that for its users, but to date we have not had the required cooperation from Apple to make this happen.”
As entertaining and the public bickering between the two companies is, the consumer remains the real loser in this face-off. Enabling Flash on iPhone would arguably represent a larger step forward than any of Apple’s previous hardware revisions.
