Adobe evangelist tells Apple to go screw itself
Adobe evangelist Lee Brimelow is none too pleased with Apple’s recent decision to disallow iPhone apps originally written in Flash. This has nothing to do whatsoever with bringing the Flash player to Apple’s devices. That is a separate discussion entirely. What they are saying is that they won’t allow applications onto their marketplace solely because of […]

Comments Off on Should Adobe shoulder any blame in the iPhone/Flash controversy?
With all the anger directed at Apple over their reluctance to let apps onto iTunes that were simultaneously developed for a number of platforms, many haven’t stopped to take the time to look at Adobe’s role in all of this. Adobe’s flash to iPhone compiler was one of the big features in their new CS […]

Comments Off on Moron claims Adobe to sue Apple over changes in iPhone developer agreement
Well this certainly is rich. Some security pundit for IT World believes that Adobe is so incensed at Apple’s shot against their flash to iPhone compiler that legal action may be on the horizon. So, unless things change drastically between Apple and Adobe in the next few weeks, from what I’m hearing you can expect […]

Comments Off on Is Apple’s stance on cross-platform development tools about development cycles?
Louis Gerbarg argues that Apple’s update to the iPhone developer agreement has less to do with controlling the user experience, and more to do with keeping Apple’s development cycles on target. iPhoneOS runs on extremely tight schedules, with a very high degree of secrecy, and at a pace completely controlled by Apple. I know it […]

Comments Off on Adobe tries to separate itself from poor Flash performance on the Joo Joo tablet
Engadget’s review of the Joo Joo tablet was anything but positive. In particular, the folks at Engadget took umbrage with the notion that Joo Joo’s support for Flash was enough to warrant calling it an iPad killer. But what about Flash? This is supposed to be the big differentiator, right? The iPad killer! In an […]

Comments Off on Adobe’s history of development for OS X, or lack thereof
The brouhaha surrounding Apple’s decision to disallow apps on iTunes that were developed using cross-platform development tools, such as Adobe’s Flash to iPhone compiler, has generated a considerable amount of vitriol from those quick to paint Apple as an evil company with no regard whatsoever for developers. Without getting into the merits of each side at […]

Monday, April 12, 2010
Former Apple executive Jean-Louis Gassée comments on Apple’s decision to disallow developers from creating iPhone apps using multi-platform development tools: Who, in his right mind, expects Steve Jobs to let Adobe (and other) cross-platform application development tools control his (I mean the iPhone OS) future? Cross-platform tools dangle the old “write once, run everywhere” promise. […]

Wednesday, March 17, 2010
Check out this video footage from the San Francisco Game Developers Conference of a Palm Pre loaded with a pre-release version of Flash 10.1. The user tries to load up Hulu to no avail, and then plays some jittery Flash game that is anything but impressive. More concerning, though, is how utterly unresponsive the Palm […]

Thursday, March 11, 2010
It’s no secret that Steve Jobs and Apple don’t think too highly of Flash, with Jobs reportedly noting during an internal Apple meeting that the majority of crashes on Safari are due to Flash related bugs. Apple has refused to budge from its position of not supporting Flash on the iPhone, and with the Flash-less […]

Comments Off on HP looks to battle iPad with flash-enabled Slate
At this year’s CES, Steve Ballmer briefly showcased an upcoming HP slate device running Windows 7. Largely positioned to contend against the iPad, HP’s slate offering promises “all day battery life”, and of course, the much ballyhooed flash support the iPad famously lacks.

Friday, February 19, 2010
A few weeks ago, Apple CEO Steve Jobs reportedly made a trip down to New York City where he hobnobbed with executives from both the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal in an effort to further highlight the potential of the iPad as just the device to save print media. While we’re obviously not […]
