Apple’s been on the receiving end of a lot of criticism in light of its updated developer agreement which prohibits the use of cross platform compilers such as the Flash-to-iPhone compiler found in the recently released CS 5.

Note the 2 photos above. While familiar in appearance, and arguably similar in function, the two products couldn’t be further apart in terms of their mainstream success.
