The Wall St. Journal this morning had a short synopsis of Adobe Chief Executive Shantanu Narayen's talk at the Goldman Sachs technology conference this week. That's the same conference where Tim Cook spoke yesterday.
He spoke on his view of why the iPad wasn't equipped to play Flash:
Narayen said Apple's decision likely had everything to do with its business model as it tries to keep a proprietary, closed system so everything goes through its iTunes store, and has nothing to do with the Flash technology. He said about 85 of the top 100 Web sites in the world use Flash, and 75% of the video on the Web today is in Flash, including Google Inc.'s (GOOG) YouTube, News Corp.'s (NWS) Hulu and broadcasters such as ABC and Fox
