[iPhone] Adobe’s CEO Fires Back at Steve Jobs

On Wall Street Journal Adobe’s CEO Shantanu Narayen yesterday nite answered to Steve Jobs latest attack. Jobs had released an open letter yesterday morning. The bottom line of Jobs’ letter is:

  • Adobe Flash is something from the past, as it is not open,
  • it is not energy efficient and
  • it does not unleash the full powers the individual platforms (meaning: the full power of Apple’s iPhone or iPad).

Narayan responded in the WSJ.com interview, that

  • It’s got nothing to do with technology, but with control.
  • Apple wants to maintain control on the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch platforms.
  • he wonders if Flash is one of the most reasons for crashing a Mac, it’s also got much to do with the operating system
  • if hardware acceleration is provided from the operating system, playing Flash takes a lot lesser energy than on a Mac.
  • Flash is an open specification

Well, well, that love is not over. We wonder how far we’re away from the point when Adobe decides to stop developing for the Apple platform? Would Apple even care? Or would they just tell thousands of designers to switch to GIMP?

We hope you don’t mind, we embed the whole WSJ.com interview as Adobe Flash ;-)

[iPhone] Uncle Mossberg’s “To be or not to 3G”…


Our beloved Uncle Alzberg
, eh Mossheimer… eh Mossberg – also known as the Internet’s Greatest Apple Fanboy (iGAF) says he was just joking about the release of the 3G iPhone during the next 60 days. Boom, we feel this is funny like Hillary Clinton is a sexgoddess…

Nevermind: the quote is floating around the net and maybe baby: we really get the 3G iPhone with release of firmware 2.0. I would not wonder if Mossheimer got an urgent call by fellow Steve J. after his announcement and was pleased to backpedale then. Who knows…
