Apple vs. Adobe

This has been an interesting situation to observe.  We’re lovers of Apple and Adobe products here @ VNI.  We’ve been using them both loyally for years. From where we sit, we'd LOVE to see Apple embrace Flash on the iphone, but it doesn't look very likely at this point.

So what's the deal?  Apple's stance did seem pretty harsh initially, but now, given Apple’s thorough run-down of their reasoning, it sounds a bit more “reasonable.”  That doesn’t mean that Apple hasn’t somewhat changed their sweet, fuzzy image for many who are watching this play out.  I’m not sure if any of you think that 'sweet' and 'fuzzy' really fit, but I think you know what I mean.  I'm also pretty sure that I don't really care how sweet and fuzzy they are provided that I continue to love their products.
