The following text was posted by Lee Brimelow and first spotted by my on TechCrunch..<\/p>\n

He replied to the Apple d**k move of locking out any dev’s but X dev’s. More on that here.<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So here is his post, in parts.\u00a0 Go to Lee Brimelow on his Flash Blog<\/a> to read the whole statement.<\/p>\n

By now you have surely heard about the new iPhone 4.0 SDK language that appears<\/em> to make creating applications in any non-Apple-approved languages a violation of terms. Obviously Adobe is looking into this wording carefully so I will not comment any further until there is an official conclusion.<\/p>\n

[Sentence regarding Apple’s intentions redacted at request from Adobe]<\/em>. This has nothing to do whatsoever with bringing the Flash player to Apple\u2019s devices. That is a separate discussion entirely. What they are saying is that they won\u2019t allow applications onto their marketplace solely<\/em> because of what language was originally used to create them. This is a frightening move that has no rational defense other than wanting tyrannical control over developers and more importantly, wanting to use developers as pawns in their crusade against Adobe. This does not just affect Adobe but also other technologies like Unity3D.<\/p>\n

…<\/p>\n

…<\/p>\n

Many of Adobe\u2019s supporters have mentioned that we should discontinue the Creative Suite products on OS X as a form of retaliation. Again, this is something that Adobe would never consider in a million years. We are not looking to abuse our loyal users and make them pawns for the sake of trying to hurt another company. What is clear is that Apple most definitely would do that sort of thing as is evidenced by their recent behavior.<\/p>\n

Personally I will not be giving Apple another cent of my money until there is a leadership change over there. I\u2019ve already moved most of my book, music, and video purchases to Amazon and I will continue to look elsewhere. Now, I want to be clear that I am not suggesting you do the same and I\u2019m also not trying to organize some kind of boycott. Me deciding not to give money to Apple is not going to do anything to their bottom line. …<\/p>\n

Now let me put aside my role as an official representative of Adobe for a moment as I would look to make it clear what is going through my mind at the moment. Go screw yourself Apple.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
