I don’t want to feed into the hype, but this just cracks me up.
Any time anyone from Adobe mentions the iPhone, the tech world, in particular the Flash community, goes wild. The latest mention of it by Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen has gotten it started again.
This one quote, two lines, is what has everyone in an uproar:
It’s a hard technical challenge, and that’s part of the reason Apple and Adobe are collaborating. The ball is in our court. The onus is on us to deliver.
It’s not really much different than anything that has been said before, but this has sparked innumerable reports (once again) that Flash is coming to the iPhone.
The funny thing is that the exact same quote is also used by some blogs as “proof” that Flash is NOT coming to the iPhone:

And people wonder why Adobe is so untalkative about it. 🙂
