    Smart move on their part. Obviously it wasn't Jobs decision to do this. Apple has so many developers who want to develop on their platform on top of having many people who develop using their hardware/OS. Keeps teh folks happy, which is good PR. It's also obvious that they did this because of competition but who cares really.

    I don't care too much for this though, since I don't really use Flash to create "apps". Once phones other than Apple can begin playing back Flash content with Flash Player decently (which is only a matter of time before the hardware becomes suitable for it), you can bet there will be a Flash plugin for the iPhone and all this will be in the past. HTML5 will still be here and will thrive, so will Flash. They'll both have their specific niches and live happily ever after.

    • I bet it was Steve's call actually, after being the public face of "linking to an API dilutes our platform", pretty sure they left this one up to him and he just listened to reason.NONEIS
