Apple failed to deliver the best through Flash. Flash is the cross-platform browser-based application runtime that delivers uncompromised viewing of expressive applications, content, and videos across screens and browsers.
Adode recently updated the Flash 10.1 version to make compatible with the Apple products. But to the irony the CEO of Adobe, Shantanu Narayen, said the flash is not working properly due to the some hardware acceleration which Apple has not looked properly before pairing up with Adobe.
Again the issue of closed market has been linked with Apple. He further added that there are companies that are choosing to provide a complete end-to-end experience and control every aspect of it (without mentioning Apple’s name). Taking the side of open eco system he said it’s the only way to contrast company like Apple and Google.
“With the energy and innovation that our company has, we’d rather focus on people who want to deliver the best experience with Flash and there are so many of them and Apple don’t want to change and we should move on”
said Shantanu.
It’s a move on attitude from Adobe and Apple still struggling with close market theory.
Share your views in regard to Apple’s close market theory.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is running a regulatory session on Apple’s app Store developers agreement. Meanwhile, an interesting turn took up when regulators from European Union joined in.
The whole issue began when Apple in April, adjusted its agreement wording in a way that outright barred developers from using third-party development tools such as Adobe’s Flash Compiler, or in-game engines like Unity 3D.
Further in July made some modifications in the agreements the limited the third parties to glean from inside of application, which posed serious incompatibility for companies like Google’s AdMob from running its business on the iOS platform.
Similar issue did came up years back with Microsoft where it had to change the way it bundled Web browsing software in versions of Windows that were sold in European market and the European Union played a pivotal role.
At this point Apple has to wait for four or six month when these bodies in charge give any official conclusions. Tougher time for Apple though.

We all know that Apple hates Adobe without good reasons. All Adobe wants is a flash enabled iPhone, like we all do “except Apple” but Adobe isn’t giving up. This time adobe released some interesting stats to show Apple we all want Flash!
Adobe installed a little script on their flash download page to count all the iPhone users that are trying to download the Adobe Flash Player. The counter reached 7 million hits in just 1 month, that are a lot of users that would like to see some flash on their iPhone.
Will Apple finally change his mind about Adobe Flash? I guess not, Apple just doesn’t like the iPhone users enough to give us what we want.
Many companies regularly attempt to introduce new iPhone development tools, and some of these are widely used by many developers. However, to make great interfaces and to make the ways of developing iPhone Apps much easier, it often requires the companies to slightly violate a few of Apple’s rules, such as how open the Apps are supposed to be to interactive changes in the individual App. So there’ve always been a few problems…
But not any longer, because now Adobe has finally made a tool which has got some serious potential! First good thing is that it’s already used and pretty well known by many web and software developers around the world. Yeah, it’s Flash Professional CS5 and it’s coming far more powerful than ever, because now it has an option to export the entire Flash file to a native iPhone App. This means that every Flash mini-game, such as the well known Tetris and popular tower defense games, could arrive to the iPhone with a single click on “Export as iPhone App”, as it would then be compressed into an .ipa format, which is used by native iPhone Apps. And it reportedly works without violating any Apple and SDK requirements. As simple as making a Flash application, which only requires some knowledge in Actionscript, animations and graphics in general.
Adobe has already demonstrated 7 full featured applications, made with Flash Professional CS5, which have been accepted into the iTunes App Store and are for sale.
