However, I am sure this is his direction on his company.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>However, as we posted <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mikechambers.com\/blog\/2010\/04\/20\/on-adobe-flash-cs5-and-iphone-applications\/\">last  week<\/a>, given the legal terms Apple has  imposed on developers, we have already decided to shift our focus away  from Apple devices for both Flash Player and AIR. We are working to\u00a0 bring Flash Player and AIR to all the other major participants in the mobile ecosystem, including Google, RIM, Palm (soon to be HP),\u00a0Microsoft, Nokia and others.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This is my opinion, if you read both posts, both are passionate about their products and both are great man. However, it seems that there are some bad relationship between them that causes the situation to evolve to what it has been today.<\/p>\n<h1><a href=\"http:\/\/www.apple.com\/hotnews\/thoughts-on-flash\/\" target=\"_blank\">Click Here to Read the Post by Apple Steve Jobs<\/a><\/h1>\n<p>and<\/p>\n<h1><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.adobe.com\/conversations\/2010\/04\/moving_forward.html\" target=\"_blank\">Click Here to Read the Post by Adobe<\/a><\/h1>\n<p>or<\/p>\n<h1><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.wsj.com\/digits\/2010\/04\/29\/live-blogging-the-journals-interview-with-adobe-ceo\/\" target=\"_blank\">Click Here to Read WSJ&#8217;s interview with Adobe CEO<\/a><\/h1>\n<p>Both have their own say on their products. They are not wrong or right. However, I think the consumers are the one that will choose, not them.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, I hope that both can co-exist for the benefits of the consumers. I think it is mean for Steve Jobs to conclude that Adobe Flash is the PC era.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Flash was created during the PC era \u2013 for PCs and mice. Flash is a  successful business for Adobe, and we can understand why they want to  push it beyond PCs. But the mobile era is about low power devices, touch  interfaces and open web standards \u2013 all areas where Flash falls short.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>PS: OK, I admit we are mean also to say that iPhone is just a normal phone when it was launched 2 years ago, and it has evolved. However, we do see improvement in Flash too! Why can&#8217;t we have a peaceful and harmonious Tech era.<\/p>\n<p>[ad#boxlist]<br \/>\n(<a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2010\/04\/29\/adobes-ceo-jobs-flash-letter-is-a-smokescreen-for-cumberso\/\" target=\"_blank\">source<\/a>)<br \/>\n(<a href=\"http:\/\/gizmodo.com\/5527750\/adobe-gives-up-on-flash-for-apple\" target=\"_blank\">source2<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday, Apple CEO, Steve Jobs put his thoughts on Apple website.
