It's hard to get an accurate read on it because the article quotes hearsay. My take on it is that mobile OS devices like iPhone and iPad (such a dumb name) will continue to not have support for Flash, but the desktop and laptop series based on OSX will. It is a bit disheartening to hear the apparently arrogant tone he takes towards Adobe in general. Granted, churning out CS updates every couple years with minimal new features isn't good practice, but Apple does the same with it's yearly updates of iLife and iWork that sometimes seem to have nothing other than a new GUI and an update of the year in the program name (Pages; looking at you). Jobs needs to calm down and play nice with both Google and Adobe. Let Google Navigation be offered as an app for iPhone (Google has stated they want to offer this for free). Let Adobe help integrate Flash as a user-installable plug-in for mobile Safari. Ease up on the control a bit. If people screw up their experience, so be it. But let customers who spend large amounts of coin on your products make the choice... don't do it for them. That’s likely not really what he was saying.

Could this be the beginning of the end for Apple?
