FTC: investigation against Apple on the lack of Flash on Apple devices


The Cupertino company could soon be investigated by the FTC regarding the U.S. Apple will not support Adobe Flash Player on iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. This could also be motivated by the fact that the FTC itself has refused access to Apple's over 200 pages of documentation against Apple presented by Adobe.
The FTC has justified this choice by stating that this could interfere with ongoing investigations and the situation much worse.:We have 189 pages of response, all exempt from FOIA disclosure request. These documents are exempt because it is reasonable to assume that disclosure of the documents would interfere with the conduct of the activities of the Board of Inquiry.We remember what he said in April CEO Steve Jobs:We've been through the adoption of intermediate layers between the platform and developer code to produce applications to end below the standards and hinder the progress of the platform.[...]If developers develop employees to third-party tools and libraries would benefit from improvements of the platform when they were taken by the third framework. We can not allow third parties to decide whether and when to provide our capabilities to developers.But because Apple does not want the Flash into the iPhone? Like Apple has repeatedly stated, the player of Adobe is not ready to be implemented in IOS, for reasons of security and overall performance (request esccessiva disproportionate consumption of resources and the battery).It also seems that other manufacturers of smartphones are giving reason to Apple. RIM, maker of BlackBerry, has decided to deprive the new BB 9800 Torch Flash, Palm also proved skeptical introduction of FL as a WebOS. Both companies, however, have clarified their positions, claiming to remain on good terms with Adobe.We'll see, but the matter seems to do nothing more than complicate it further.[Source]
