I think it has very little, if at all, to do with Apple wanting Adobe to
produce a better product, and more to do with licensing fees, and
revenue from app store purchases. There would be a lot of lost revenue
from the app store if you could just put flash on your device and play a
game downloaded off the web for free from a plug-in that passed along
the capacitance and accelerometer data to the swf.

Also Flash is playing a bigger role in corporate eLearning, especially
after Adobe ended support for Authorware... and all the third party

its presentations and virtual classroom features.
My personal opinion is that Jobs is trying to push Adobe to fix whatever
problems he feels the Flash Player has on the Mac and get it to a state
where he feels they can do business. He is playing this out in the
public arena so that he can build up some support and maybe make Adobe
speed things up a bit. With the emergence of Google in the mobile
device market, Apple will need to step it up to stay on top the
mountain... and I think one of those things will be to have the Flash
Player on Apple mobile devices. It will be this big announcement and
everyone will think it is the greatest thing since the iPhone.
