Pulling a Donald Sutherland in Body Snatchers, Adobe shows its darkest side screaming and pointing the finger at Apple in this Flash installation web page for iPhone users.
Their razor-sharp message:
Flash Player not available for your device. Apple restricts use of technologies required by products like Flash Player. Until Apple eliminates these restrictions, Adobe cannot provide Flash Player for the iPhone or iPod touch.
Bad Adobe BAD! Next time, please put this in every single Adobe Flash box inside every single page using Flash on the web? [Check it here from your iPhone via Gear Diary]

Many sites require flash for proper viewing, and not to mention my dream of being able to sue newgrounds on my iphone :P

I think the sites need to stop using proprietary systems like flash and PDF, there are open alternatives freely available now and business should stop paying the “Adobe Tax”
