Alternatively: "We happen to create a product that we think makes the web better. Some people disagree with this; they can decide not to install it. Apple is taking away their choice, and we feel that that's a bad thing."
That's what choice is, you see, being able to opt in or opt out. That's what they're arguing for, despite the sub-text of them wanting flash on the iPad - they want the user to have the option of installing flash, as they do on desktop operating systems (do any come with flash preinstalled?).
- pohl 16y agoI think that's disingenuous of Adobe, because that choice still rests in the hands of the consumer at the moment they made an informed purchase. If they chose to make an uninformed purchase, well, that's still a choice. Abobe is actually seeking to take away Apple's ability to make a design choice. If choice is sacred, why isn't that one?
