Adobe vs. Apple is going to get uglier

“Usually I write about security here, but Apple’s iron-bound
determination to keep Adobe Flash out of any iWhatever device is
about to blow up in Apple’s face. Sources close to Adobe tell me
that Adobe will be suing Apple within a few weeks.

“It was bad enough when Apple said, in effect, that Adobe Flash
wasn’t good enough to be allowed on the iPad. But the final straw
was when Apple changed its iPhone SDK (software development kit)
license so that developers may not submit programs to Apple that
use cross-platform compilers.

“Officially, Adobe’s not talking about such actions, but there’s
no question that Adobe is ticked off big time at Apple. I mean how
often in print does one company representative say about a former
partner, “Go screw yourself Apple,” as Lee Brimelow, an Adobe
platform evangelist, did on his personal Web site, The Flash
Blog.”
