But remember, part of the success of Flash in the past has been based on Flash's ability to progress faster than open standards and browser adoption. Now that people update their browsers much more frequently this approach may work, but may also create a few pitfalls for Adobe. @ Joel – Excellent point, “Is Adobe going to defend us or not??!!”.

All that is needed is for iPhone to become the only smartphone to not run Flash or AIR. That will be the turning point. The iPad is another failed product, because of its limitations and because nobody really needs this device, it will be destined to fizzle out and eventually. Apple is becoming the new Microsoft.

They have already had to change their advertisements for falsely displaying rendered flashPlayer content on the iPhone and iPad. And, they had to change their terminology in the UK with the iPhone, because of falsely claiming that the iPhone has "all the parts of the internet" Pretty soon they are going to have to make some serious changes, whether they like it or not. For the meantime, I am done with Apple. I will not support this kind of closed behavior, and this obvious slap in the face of not only developers, but the USERS of their hardware. Take a look on the Mac forums for that proof.

I've seen the blog postings and that's good - but what about some ads using Apple's own famous 1984 ad but using Jobs as the guy on the screen and Adobe is smashing the oppressors face with Freedom and Creativity. Do we believe in Flash or not??!!! Is Adobe going to defend us or not??!! Ryan,

What is Adobe’s response to this unbelievable slap upside our head?

Give me a 2lb or so tablet in a similar form factor running Win7 with a decent on screen keyboard, comparable real-world battery life (and one USB and one SD slot) and I'd buy it, for sure.
