It's all about money and business.
Apple is banning the Adobe stuff to keep the iPhone and iPad a closed system so that you are forced to buy content from Apple.
All that other stuff about usability and battery life etc. is smoke and mirrors to disguise the greed.
I have nothing against Apple in this regard, if they can get away with it, it's just good business.
The disappointing thing for me is that since Apple dropped the "Computer" from their name they have focussed on consumer products with less and less regard to producing computers and associated professional products. The balance is tipping so far that I've considered switching.
For example where the hell are the laptops with the new Intel processors?
These should have been out last year.
Everyone else has released them long ago.
Remember that in the past Adobe stopped selling Premier for Mac in a retaliation to Jobs' attitude and Final Cut Pro.
They relented, so obviously Adobe needs Apple more than Apple needs Adobe.
Adobe sound like a spoilt child and blogs from Adobe employees with comments like this do them no favours at all. They just look like amateurs who have no handle on the business.
