It even sounded like they are dropping flash on Apple. They probably meant for Apple Mobile Devices, but who knows?

If they really meant dropping Apple completely, IMO that is a bad idea, time will tell.

Adobe is basically saying that Flash will be available on competitor's phones and the market will decide; which is exactly the right response. I wish most tech bloggers would take this view and just shut up with the endless "analysis" of Flash and Apple. Flamewars don't decide anything, the market does.

Yeah this was a clearly worded and classy response, definitely better than I expected.

Does this sentence make zero sense to anyone else?

We feel confident that were Apple and Adobe to work together as we are with a number of other partners, we could provide a terrific experience with Flash on the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.

Are you kidding?

There response was brilliant, and it is right on the money. Steve Jobs arguments are contradictory and largely asinine, and they aren't worth retort. Adobe has essentially wiped their hands and said "Whatever, troll" which is truly brilliant.

Jobs must be seething.

It parses okay for me, though a comma between "work together" and "as we are" might help.

"If Apple worked with us, as a number of other partners do, we could provide..."

I makes total sense. Shall I reword it slightly for you?
