Adobe evangelist Lee Brimelow is none too pleased with Apple’s recent decision to disallow iPhone apps originally written in Flash.

This is a frightening move that has no rational defense other than wanting tyrannical control over developers and more importantly, wanting to use developers as pawns in their crusade against Adobe. This does not just affect Adobe but also other technologies like Unity3D.
