Adobe: Actually, we can’t do iPhone flash after all!
In a lovely foot-in-mouth moment, Adobe have back-peddled from their earlier comments that they were able to develop flash for iPhone without Apple’s help thanks to the SDK. This, it turns out, isn’t strictly true….
“However, to bring the full capabilities of Flash to the iPhone Web-browsing experience, we do need to work with Apple beyond and above what is available through the SDK and the current license around it,” the company said. “We think Flash availability on the iPhone benefits Apple and Adobe’s millions of joint customers, so we want to work with Apple to bring these capabilities to the device.”
So, they DO need Apple. And with Apple seemingly in no rush, I wouldn’t be holding my breath.
Still, we live in hope.
