Adobe’s seemingly tried everything[in its fight to get Apple to tear down enough development barriers to get Flash ported to the iPhone, culminating in a native compilation option in CS5[URL=“http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/10/05/adobe-lets-you-use-flash-to-create-non-flash-apps-for-the-iph/”]](http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/01/31/apple-teams-up-with-adobe-for-iphone-flash-at-long-last/) that… well, really doesn’t solve much of anything. So far, nothing’s worked. What’s next? Get the masses fired up with some old-fashioned propaganda and let 'em riot down at One Infinite Loop, of course! Visiting Adobe’s Flash download page from an iPhone now shows a pretty tersely-worded message informing the user that they’re getting short-changed simply by Apple’s refusal to budge, so yeah, if you hear an occasional cry of “this is outrageous, I’m writing Apple immediately!” while sitting at an airport gate or a coffee shop, you can safely guess what just happened.
