No Flash On iPhone? Adobe Says It's All Apple's Fault

Looks like Adobe is getting increasingly restless about Apple's lackadaisical approch towards bringing Flash to the iPhone. 

Now in a seeming attempt to place the blame squarely on Apple, Adobe is taking the issue to the iPhone users themselves. 

Now iPhone users trying to access Flash content on their handsets are shown this message from Adobe: 

"Apple restricts use of technologies required by product like Flash Player. Until Apple eliminates these restrictions, Adobe cannot provide Flash Player for the iPhone or iPod Touch".

It sounds like a last-ditch effort by Adobe to bring Flash to the iPhone users. Many previous attempts to talk to Apple about bringing Flash have only ended up in empty promises. This has been because Apple has always suspected the Flash player of bringing down the performance levels of the iPhone and Steve Jobs has in fact gone on air saying that he has not been particularly impressed with Adobe's offer for the iPhone. 

Recently, Adobe had launched a beta version of Flash Professional CS5 that enabled app developers to port their Flash applications to the iPhone platform. However, users looking to access Flash based web content on their iPhones have remained unlucky so far. 

Will this fresh salvo from Adobe help them finally push the Flash Player on to the iPhone? Why do you think Apple has stayed its ground on this issue for over two years now? Please put forward your opinion in the comments.
