Whoever follows the story of the iPhone since its launch knows there is a historical feud between Apple and Adobe on behalf of Flash , complement that lets you view multimedia on the web. But after an exchange of barbs between public companies, there seems to be a kind of truce between the two, he said, and Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen said at the conference D9 in Palos Verdes, California, United States, on Thursday (2 ).
Narayen confirmed during the event sponsored by The Wall Street Journal that he and Steve Jobs came to an amicable agreement "unofficial" ending the war public. The executive says that Apple actually cares more about a business model than with performance problems of the plugin for your mobile devices like iPhone, iPod touch and IPAD.
"The problem is in control of the App Store," Narayen said, implying that support for Flash could be a competition with applications from Apple's online store. The executive also suggests that developers can use Adobe AIR normally to produce software for the IOS. He even said that his company is excited by the growth of HTML5 (which replaces the company's multimedia add-in browsers) and is "actively contributing" to their development.
All well and good, until the mediator of the debate, Walt Mossberg said: "I have not test a device [Android] in which the flash works really well." The CEO of Adobe even cited the tablet BlackBerry playbook as an example of progress, but Mossberg noted that the unit does not run Google's operating system. Narayen was so embarrassed and frown.
It would be nice if Jobs comment something about it on Monday (6), during the WWDC developer conference in San Francisco, which will feature news from Apple as the IOS and the new service iCloud 5. The check.
