We can't reduce the war between both companies to a post, too much to say and too many implications in the present and future tech world.
There is however a good article I've read today at the New York Post. Seems big media companies aren't too happy about Apple's walled garden around iPad, and not too happy either about having to transcode their existing assets to more formats, when Flash should be ok.
I think Apple's move against Adobe is bad for both companies and, specially, for users. iPhones and iPads are porwerful enough to offer the same video content we can see in any website today, but we cant access it because there is no Flash. Media companies are having to develop new sites if they want to support the iPad... and in the current environment that expense should be avoidable.
iPhone and iPad will have Flash... I'm sure about it. Apple can show us the way in many areas, but this is too big a change for a single company to force it.
One question that arises is... will Apple buy Adobe sometime?
