Adobe Moves Away from Apple
The legal terms Apple imposed on software developers had led it to shift its focus away from Apple.
Adobe has posted a short response to the letter Apple boss Steve Jobs has written about Flash technology. In it, Adobe said the legal terms Apple imposed on software developers had led it to shift its focus away from Apple.
Mr Jobs used the open letter to defend Apple's decision not to allow Flash on many of the firm's products. In it he criticised Flash, saying it was not fit for an era of smartphones and touchscreen devices.
Kevin Lynch, Adobe's chief technology officer, wrote in a blog posting: "We feel confident that were Apple and Adobe to work together as we are with a number of other partners, we could provide a terrific experience with Flash on the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch."
Androids on skateboards, Google Adobe will concentrate on Android and other devices.
Currently, none of these products can run the Flash technology which is used on many websites to power media players, games and other animations.
However, added Mr Lynch, Adobe has decided to shift its focus to get Flash working well on gadgets made by Google, RIM, Palm, Microsoft, Nokia and others.
He said Adobe expected to release Flash Player 10.1 on Google's Android operating system in May and then for it to be on general release in June.
