By now you've heard about the ongoing war between Adobe and Apple. You've probably heard about it even if you live under a rock. It's everywhere, and as we expected, it didn't die down after the launch of the iPad. In fact, it seems to be getting worse after the announcement of iPhone OS 4.0. Especially when folks started navigating through the fine print and legal documentation, and we started to learn that Steve Jobs and company had begun a far stricter implementation of the rules for their SDK. More importantly, they tied the noose around Adobe's figurative neck a bit tighter.

Adobe CTO Kevin Lynch Responds to Apple’s Latest iPhone SDK
iPhone OS 4.0 SDK limits dev compiler choice; Adobe Flash CS5 scuppered before launch
Steve Jobs made plenty of noise yesterday about the 1,500+ new APIs for iPhone OS developers to play with in OS 4.0, but its taken some SDK sifting to turn up some of the less impressive changes. A section of the iPhone Developer Program License Agreement has been amended to not only deny access to private APIs but also prescribe which languages can be used to create apps: C, C++ and Objective-C. The change means that developers looking to use the Adobe Flash to iPhone compiler in the upcoming Flash Professional CS5 release will have to think again, together with those already using MonoTouch and Appcelerator.

The comparative merits of Flash 10.1 and HTML5 are a hot topic right now, given the imminent arrival of the Flash-free iPad, and Adobe are doing their best to point out that their system isn't quite as passé as some analysts would have you believe.

Chrome browser gets baked-in Flash support
Whether you're on the "bring on the Flash" side of the fence, or patiently counting down the days until its demise at the hands of HTML5, you can't escape the fact that much of the online content we see is powered by Adobe's technology. Google have therefore announced a new build of the Google Chrome browser that has Flash baked in; it's the first step in their collaborative work with Adobe to tighten up the Flash experience with a new API rather than the flaky browser plug-in method currently used.

HTML5 and Flash can work together insists Adobe evangelist [Video]
Flash and HTML5 are hot topics in the online world right now. We've heard plenty about how more smartphones will get Flash, how performance might not be what users expect and how mainstream sites are looking to alternatives, and of course there's Apple's ongoing reluctance to add Flash functionality to their mobile devices. Meanwhile HTML5 is getting plenty of positive press, and most recently Microsoft have announced full support for the technology in IE9. Is there room for both to live together in harmony, however? "Adobe platform evangelist" Serge Jespers reckons so, and he's thrown together the code to demonstrate it.

Anti-Flash movement building as sites court mobile users?
The tide looks like it may be turning on Flash. With Apple's continued resistance to adding support for the Adobe system to their smartphone, PMP and upcoming tablet line-up, website developers seem to be scaling back their use of the technology so as to maintain accessibility across as many devices as possible. Virgin America are the latest big-name company to bypass Flash and choose basic HTML for their new site, telling The Register that the older standard was "good enough" for their requirements.

Adobe already have a version of Photoshop available for the iPhone in the App Store, but what if your tastes run more retro than that?
