Steve jobs says Flash is passé

Finally clarifying why Apple does(will) not allow Flash to run on iphone,ipod and ipad - Jobs says that Flash was invented for PCs with mice and not phones with touch. It's a thing of the past and can not let low powered devices live it up as opposed to HTML5, CSS and JS combined.
Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen responds in non-descriptive disagreements.
No doubt Adobe is the one losing out on traffic/usage opportunity - either they should address the reasons laid down by Jobs or prove him wrong by running sweetly with Android on the phone

true that Adobe may be(is) losing the user's(or say Apple's) interest at the moment but it is a mature enough company to handle this...Waiting to see what magic they can weave in the Chrome OS...might be a stunner

The magic will be in HTML5 & advanced CSS3.
