You won't get any arguments from me about Apple's app store and approval process. Shite and irregular.

But I will say that I was not comparing consoles to the iPhone. They're completely different in terms of development. I was only giving up consoles as proper examples of closed systems. Despite what Bitt mentioned, the iPhone is anything but closed, and I don't know anyone else that uses the same definition of closed he supplied.

Now the reason I came in here....

Seems like the Adobe and Google partnership is on. It's the only way to get any motion against Apple for them I'm sure.

We may see some real Flash action on a mobile handset yet. It's not likely to make any difference to iPhone sales nor the performance of the App Store, but it's going to be interesting to see nonetheless.
