On Skyfire, the browser that lets iOS devices watch some Flash Video by transcoding it into a form which iOS can play, becoming the number one download on Apple's App Store:

    It shows that the desire to run Flash on iOS is there.

    I asked how long it would take for Adobe to ramp up Flash for the web if Apple changed its stance on Flash. He wouldn't give a time frame and based the timetable on how well Apple and Adobe would work together. That seems like a pretty far off consideration at this point.

    Adobe doesn't benefit from a dominant PC player such as Microsoft gaining a majority of the market in smartphones. If Android becomes 90% of the smartphone market, developers don't have to use Flash or Air to build applications, they can just use Android's tools. That is why it is interesting to hear Lynch talk about Android becoming a majority player.
