Is Apple's Attack On Flash Really About Video?
jamiegau writes "Here we have a long and in-depth blog post analyzing the faults in Steve Jobs's Letter about Flash. The writer concludes with an interesting idea that it is all about online video."
But Adobe did find a way to make Flash work on Apple's devices - they added the ability to export Flash as native iPhone code.
Apple responded by changing their rules to require all iPhone apps to be orginally developed with Apple tools.
That's not about the constraints of the device - that's about artificial constraints created for business reasons.
