"This morning Apple posted some thoughts about Flash on their web site.

The primary issue at hand is that Apple is choosing to block Adobe's

widely used runtimes as well as a variety of technologies from other

providers.

Clearly, a lot of people are passionate about both Apple and Adobe and

our technologies. We feel confident that were Apple and Adobe to work

together as we are with a number of other partners, we could provide a

terrific experience with Flash on the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.

However, as we posted last week, 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

bring Flash Player and AIR to all the other major participants in the

mobile ecosystem, including Google, RIM, Palm (soon to be HP),

Microsoft, Nokia and others.

We look forward to delivering Flash Player 10.1 for Android

smartphones as a public preview at Google I/O in May, and then a

general release in June. From that point on, an ever increasing number

and variety of powerful, Flash-enabled devices will be arriving which

we hope will provide a great landscape of choice."
