While many of us are familiar with the teeny little cube informing us
that we've ended up at a Flash-based site on our iPhones, it appears
that Apple's intransigence on the software plug-in has irked Adobe.
Go to Adobe's site on your phone to download Flash and you'll get this tight-lipped message:
Despite
an announcement at the beginning of the year that Apple and Adobe were
going to attempt working together to bring some form of Flash to the
iPhone, nothing on the horizon seems to suggest this is any closer to
happening. While Steve Jobs thinks full-fledged Flash is too bloated
for the iPhone and Flash Lite is too wimpy, no one seems to be talking
much about his desired "missing product in the middle."
It's
unlikely that Adobe's passive aggressive message is likely to have much
of an effect, but it is a nice reminder of where to put the blame for
this particular lack on the iPhone.
