Steve Jobs Flash Stance Slammed by Adobe

Steve Jobs, the most successful CEO of Apple, has been fired back by none other than Adobe in the ever-rising Flash battle between the two tech giants.
This great battle began last Friday when Jobs slammed the Flash technology of Adobe and went public to say that Apple is not at all ready to offer Flash on iPods, iPhones and iPads. The letter which comprised of 1675 words also contained words to savage Adobe, the popular multimedia software maker from USA of touting 100% proprietary technology. Not only this, he also focused on the giant’s lack of security, performance and reliability.

The cannons were fired by Adobe also when just a day later Adobe shot back at Jobs by accusing of the fact that Apple has taken deliberate steps to confuse people in attempting to protect its very own business.

In the email, Holy Campbell, the Director of Adobe for corporate communications added that any attempt by Apple in positioning this matter as a complete technological issue is a complete smoke screen. Apple’s moves like this to bock technologies like Flash are part of a business model, which locks consumers and developers into a single stack.
