Adobe and Oracle are gaining control over Java and Flash, two things that previously Apple controlled themselves. The app store isn't replacing the ability to install application on your own, it's just another option to purchase and install apps in a way that may be more familiar and user friendly for those who use Apple's phones. This seems more like Apple reducing their control over the user experience.
- code_duck 16y agoIn what ways did Apple control Sun or Adobe more than Oracle or... Adobe? What do you mean?
- whyenot 16y agoCurrently, Apple controls the Java implementation for OS X. In the future they will not. Currently Apple controls what version of Flash ships with OS X. In the future they will not. The OP asserts that these changes will increase Apple's control over the user experience. To me, it looks like with these changes Apple is actually giving up control over some things.
- code_duck 16y agoSorry, I think I read your earlier statement backwards. Thanks for the clarification.
