We don’t need to announce to everyone that Apple (especially Jobs) hates Flash almost as much as Google and the new MacBook Air is a prime example of this. Engadget reports the new MacBook Air’s do not ship with Flash pre-installed. You can still run flash, meaning, you need to install it yourself from Adobe’s website.
It seems, Josh Topolksy over at Engadget s have gotten official word from Apple that this is the case.

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.

About 25% thinner than the iPhone 3GS. A combination of glass and steel which would result in a marvelous smartphone ever made. Glass on the front and back will make it irresistible to have one. With LED flash and cameras placed both in the front and back it’s going to give you enhanced photography options along with the much awaited feature Video calls. With a 5 megapixel camera the option of tap to focus functionality has been reported to have improved. The blueprint of the inside thing has been given below. Please feel free to put forth your reactions and comments.

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.
The camera on the iPhone is pretty good and takes clear photos outside. But when you are in a dark room all you get is a way to dark picture. Maybe the next iPhone will solve this problem by adding a flash LED to the camera. There are rumors that Apple signed a contract with Philips to order LED camera flash components.
Apple ordered tens of millions LED camera flash components for 2010, for the next generation of iPhones. There are also rumors that the next generation of iPod touch could also include this LED flash camera. It is also likely that Apple will add a 5.0-megapixel camera to the next iPhone created by OmniVision, Omnivision is the creator of the 0.3-megapixel video camera on the latest iPod nano.
Earlier, when Apple first released its new major operating system Mac OS X Snow Leopard the 28th of August, the OS downgraded Flash to an older version, which came with several security issues. It is therefore important that the individual user, if he knows about it, updates Flash to the latest version manually.
However, in the recently seeded 10.6.1 update coming up for Snow Leopard, it seems that Apple addresses this issue. There have been many concerns about it and it has certainly caught Apple’s attention.
The new 10.6.1 software update contains the usual bug fixes and addresses many smaller issues, such as DVD playback, unresponsive applications, printer drivers, Mail functionality, removing items from the Dock etc. The seeded version is currently being tested by a limited audience and is 71.5 MB large.
