Frankly, I'm tired of the whining about Flash and the (largely Apple-hating) enablers and apologists for Adobe's incompetence.
Fact is, all Adobe had to do to "win" this PR war was jailbreak and iPhone, developer a version of Flash for it and then show it off to anyone and everyone who wants to see what a great experience it can be.
Instead, Adobe would rather just lie back and say "there's no point in trying", which is an obnoxious mix of laziness, incompetence and arrogance.
What's worse is the number of people who have bought into their BS.
Does Apple want Flash on iOS? Probably not. But with good reason. And who really cares? Producing a compelling Flash experience on mobile (something that STILL doesn't exist, even on Android) would've gone a long way to forcing their hand.
