Adobe to sue Apple 'within weeks,' says report

Very good Adope, don't leave Apple monopoly.

This is for Developers cannnot use Flash SDK on mac platform something like that, nothing to do with Flash support. But i'm certain Flash must sue for Apple not supporting flash players on iPhone and mac products.

It's Apple's product. They don't have to support anything on it if they don't want to.

And Apple don't have a monopoly. There are plenty of other phones to buy.

Unlike with Windows and PCs, the iPhone OS is not installed on the majority of phones sold.

The vast majority of phones that are sold are not iPhones, so I fail to see how Apple could have a monopoly in the mobile phone market.

Adope can file a case, why Apple stop Adope on iPhone, Apple think it is not good one but it is not true, same as the way they told so far multitasking is not good blah, blah like that.

It's not true?

Now, Apple have actually put Flash on an iPhone, and they observed first hand that it both killed the battery life and seriously impaired performance.

And your experience with Flash running on an iPhone is....?

Apple dont have a monopoly but they want one. Not only are they restricting what users can do on their products to the point where its not really yours at all because they can do want they want with it but they're trying to restrict what non-customers do on other phones. Thats why they're suing HTC, knock-on effect of restricting Android and win mob; dont think the user base of the pre is big enough for them to follow through on their threats to palm. Hay-ho its off to court we go.

I'm struggling to decipher this, but are you saying that Apple haven't tried Flash on the iPhone?

What if they haven't (which they have)? Nothing wrong with that.

I'm sure Apple would love it if every phone sold was an iPhone. Most companies want to be successful. It's on page one of "How to Run a Company".

Lots of device manufacturers already do this.

Ever owned a video game console?

Is my Xbox 360 not really my own because Microsoft dicate what I can do with it?

but they're trying to restrict what non-customers do on other phones. Thats why they're suing HTC, knock-on effect of restricting Android and win mob

Really? I thought they were suing them for breaching their intellectual property. Tell me, as you seem to know more than I do, what is it about Apple's IP case that you don't find convincing? What patents and technologies are specifically in question?

dont think the user base of the pre is big enough for them to follow through on their threats to palm. Hay-ho its off to court we go.

Apple never threatened Palm. In fact, they specifically stated they weren't threatening Palm.

Not quite as headline grabbing I know, but alas, the truth is like that sometimes.
