Merriam Webster defines hypocrisy thus: "feigning to be what one is not or to believe what one does not; especially : the false assumption of an appearance of virtue or religion" I'd say Apple's lambasting of Adobe for failing to provide open & reliable cross-platform software fits the bill perfectly. Steve's critique of Flash can be both accurate and hypocritical at the same time. |

I think a quotation to support your interpretation above would be helpful, because it's not at all what I read in "Thoughts on Flash" today.
That is, I did not get the impression that Apple thought Adobe ought to deliver anything open. They were merely pointing out that it is not — and that this does not meet Apple's vision for what they want to support within Mobile Safari.
In fact, he went so far as to concede that "Apple has many proprietary products too."
