Line 39: In his statement entitled “Thoughts on Flash,” Jobs identifies his official reasoning for Apple not supporting Flash. He believes that the web should be open source and progress should not have to depend on Adobe: :“While Adobe’s Flash products are widely available, this does not mean they are open, since they are controlled entirely by Adobe… Adobe’s Flash products are 100% proprietary... and Adobe has sole authority as to their future enhancement” – Steve Jobs Jobs further explains that iDevices relies on their multi-touch interfaces and thus does not have a mouse-over state, which Flash is reliant on. If Flash were to be available on Apple mobile devices, users would be unable to correctly access and interact with certain elements due to the lack of appropriate functionality.
