스티브 잡스가 아이폰에 플래시를 지원하지 않는 이유에 대한 글을 쓰고 난 후 WSJ에서 어도비 CEO와 이 부분에 대해서 어떻게 생각하는지 인터뷰를 했네요~ 인터뷰 동영상은 나중에 공개할 예정이고 먼저 간단한 인터뷰 내용이 기사로 올라와 있습니다.
애플과 어도비가 이제 대놓고 싸우는 듯한 느낌입니다. 개방형 플랫폼이냐? 누가 스탠더드를 따르느냐? 등 상호 의견이 다른 이슈들이 있네요. 어도비 플래시 CS5로 아이폰 앱 프로그램이 가능한 상황이 되었는데 이 부분은 또 앞으로 어떻게 발전할지 흥미진진합니다.
애플은 아이폰 OS를 비공개로 개발하고 어도비는 플래시 엔진을 비공개로 개발하고 있습니다. 하지만 두 회사 모두 아이폰 어플리케이션을 개발하는데 문제가 없도록 개발자들을 지원하고 어도비 또한 플래시 프로그램을 만들 수 있는 개발도구를 지원하고 있습니다.
두 회사의 싸움(?)이 어떤 식으로 결말이 날지 흥미롭습니다. ^^

The Wall Street Journal is currently conducting an exclusive interview with Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen regarding an open letter posted earlier today by Apple CEO Steve Jobs sharing his thoughts on Adobe's Flash technology and reasons why Apple has not included support for it on iPhone OS devices. Video clips and the full interview will be available later, but the Journal is currently providing live updates of the interview in progress.
In his opening comments, Narayen noted that Adobe believes in "open content", stressing that its Creative Suite software is designed to work on a number of different platforms and that the company remains committed to its vision that its software should be able to help people work across multiple operating systems. Narayen also noted that Adobe products, presumably referring to Flash, will be fully supported on the next version of the Android smartphone operating system, as confirmed by Google vice president Andy Rubin earlier this week.
In addressing Jobs' claims of technology issues with Flash, Narayen called the comments "really a smokescreen" and pointed to over 100 App Store applications created using Flash. Further countering Jobs' assertions, Narayen blamed Apple's operating systems for Flash-related crashes and called Jobs' claims of Flash hampering battery life on mobile devices "patently false". In general, Narayen also claimed that Flash issues highlighted in Jobs' letter are rooted in Apple's proprietary nature that prevents Adobe from innovating as they'd like.
Narayen again returned to his claim that Flash is an open standard, calling Jobs' claim of it being closed "amusing". Adobe's view of the world is multi-platform, allowing it to provide developers with tools to easily deploy their content across many devices and platforms, a concept that may not to Apple's benefit in trying to lock customers in to its ecosystem.
In conclusion, Narayen noted that customers have the ultimate voice in the dispute, and he believes that multi-platform solutions like Adobe's will win out.
