AppleInsider | Adobe slips mobile Flash Player 10.1 to second half of 2010

AppleInsider says:

After mounting an intense attack on Apple for not supporting Flash on its iPhone OS mobile devices, Adobe has admitted that it will not be able to ship its promised Flash Player 10.1 for mobile platforms until the second half of the year.

It hasn’t been a good year for Adobe. Application development with runtimes have always been a short cut. Many times I have developed something for a company using Visual Basic, or Java. Apple is into controlling the hardware and OS, and so they don’t want to let any programs that use a 3rd party runtime. Lest you think this is Apple being a Monster. If they let runtimes into the iPhone/iPad system, then they can’t release as many updates, because those updates might interfere with the runtimes.
