Apple won! | The Manila Bulletin Newspaper Online: "MANILA, Philippines -- And Adobe lost. When Apple introduced the iPhone and stressed that it will not support Adobe’s Flash, Adobe criticized them for not providing the full internet to its users. Adobe tried to win the consumers’ hearts, and with fingers-crossed, hoped that the iPhone will not pick-up. Unfortunately, it did.
Several iPhone iterations after, Adobe still kept pushing for Flash by partnering with the likes of Research in Motion for its Playbook tablet, and Google, for Flash on Android. Whilst it seemed to be a great offensive against Apple, the overall experience of using Flash on devices, even on the Playbook and Android, further stressed that Apple made the right decision. Flash, even optimized for devices, is just not that good, like it is on the desktop. Not only does it eat up a lot of resources, it also wasn’t as responsive as a native app.
