Why Apple Banned Flash

There’s been a lot of discussion of late over the “Apple doesn’t/won’t support Flash” topic. Thanks to my personal Buddha, Paul Eng, for alerting me to Steve Job’s explanation in Thoughts on Flash. I won’t summarize the article here, so read it for yourself. Jobs closes with his 2 cents for Adobe: “New open standards created in the mobile era, such as HTML5, will win on mobile devices (and PCs too). Perhaps Adobe should focus more on creating great HTML5 tools for the future, and less on criticizing Apple for leaving the past behind.”
