Two months back I mentioned Apple’s licensing change to block the use of Flash based applications on the iPhone and iPad.
Then last meeting Meg pointed out Steve Jobs open letter about flash.
Well here’s the next chapter – Abode has created a ‘we love choice’ page on their website, including Adobe’s response
I’ve read a lot of commentary on this mess.
I think maybe this post here might sum it up best.

Incidentally, if anyone knows someone with a Kindle, Sony eReader etc. I could borrow please let me know so I can do a good job with my upcoming ebook presentation.
