Adobe Argues Apple’s Flash Claims
Finally, Adobe fires back. Between the comments from their CEO and product manager Adrian Ludwig, Adobe is claiming that Apple’s problems with Flash come down to one simple thing. Money.
With Apple collecting 30% from all downloaded applications, a site like Hulu and the ability to watch their videos with Flash would negate the purchases from The iTunes Store. Additionally, with Flash ready browsing Apple would loosen its grip on all things app related. A number of apps would be made redundant by Flash.
Apple seems the biggest proponent of HTML5 and shows no signs of backing down anytime soon. Steve Jobs has gone out of his way as CEO to control anything he can, The App Store is no different.
Adobe has recently demonstrated that Flash is not the battery life whore that Apple claims it is. Yet Apple continues to insist. There are two truths being bandied about but in all rational conversations it probably lies somewhere between these two companies competing opinions and barbs.
Apple no longer needs Adobe as it once did. They both know it.
