"If Adobe actually wants to persuade Apple to support Flash on iPhone (either as a plugin or compiled to native apps), I know how they can do it. They can get an awesome, high performance, Flash environment working on Android, and get a bunch of great Flash apps running on Android phones"

So true.

Apple has every right to do what they are doing with their new developer's agreement. It's their platform, they own it. Just like it's every developers right to choose whether or not to develop for it. Let's face it, if all the developers stopped developing for it Apple would change their approach.

Adobe should stop complaining and put all their efforts into other platforms like Android. I think they have rode the Flash wave for too long and have become too fat and lazy.

If Android gains a lot of traction and Apple either becomes stagnate or falls behind because of lack of Flash support then I bet you would see Apple either try to make a deal with Adobe or they would build their own SWF player.
