This article also ties in nicely with the news that Opera Mini App has been approved for the App Store by Apple who continue to refuse support for Adobe Flash on the iPhone/iPad and that Adobe has released Creative Suite 5 while it also appears that Apple will ban apps developed with Flash from the App Store.
I don’t think Apple and Adobe are the best of friends right now.
