    First of all, what is said privately between Apple and Adobe we don't know. Second, if Adobe wanted to create a flash runtime that runs on iOS as proof of concept, demo, or whatever, Apple couldn't stop them even if they wanted to. Third, Steve Jobs said that they'd love to see Adobe demo a capable mobile flash runtime, they just haven't.
