Adobe's multimedia Flash technology is at the heart of a growing feud between Adobe and Apple--and that feud will soon get a lot hotter, if the latest reports are correct.
The two companies are at odds over the use of Adobe's Flash technology on Apple's iPhone and iPad. Flash allows developers to create Web sites with interactive multimedia presentations and interfaces, and allows you to view them from your browser. Apple's iPhone has never offered Flash support, and, despite the wishes of many iPhone and iPad users, the feature was not added to the latest iPhone OS, version 4.0, which was unveiled last week.
In fact, the new iPhone OS takes steps to prevent the use of Flash on Apple's devices, as it introduced measures that would prevent app developers from using Adobe's Flash-to-iPhone app compiler.
