From Adobe, with LOVE

After Steve Jobs attacked Adobe by saying the Flash technology is obsolete and is good only for poor applications, Adobe has responded, and the newest episode is related to a campaign that the company started on a few popular sites. The campaign also includes a letter in which Adobe says Flash is an application open to all and in free market the best product always wins. Adobe also claims that Apple has a bad attitude that undermines the next stage in the evolution of the Internet.

Adobe attacks Apple through an open letter, saying it has "a very different approach" and "made a series of steps that would undermine the next step in internet evolution, a stage in which digital handsets will surpass PCs, so that any individual can become a publisher, and content will be accessed anywhere and anytime ".

"Ultimately we think the question is: Who controls the World Wide Web? And we believe the answer is anyone and everyone, but in no way a single company," reads the last paragraph of the letter.

Adobe's campaign held a large number of audience publications like the New York Times, Washington Post, San Francisco Chronicle, Financial Times Wall Street Journal, Wired, TechCrunch and Engadget. Even so, Apple replied only through a post on Steve Job's blog.


Who's right? I think everybody can choose a side, but at the end of the day, that's what free market is all about.
