Adobe abandons iPhone code tools

Adobe has now squarely aligned itself with Google and Android

Adobe is to stop making software tools that allow Apple's iPhone and iPad to use its popular Flash technology.

The decision reverses an earlier pledge in which it said it would help get Flash working on the gadgets.

For what its worth, I think its great that Apple iPhone /iPad products will not support
