,----[ Quote ]
| Adobe has been forced to clarify CEO Shantanu Narayen’s comments earlier this

| suggested yesterday, the technical and licensing limitations of the current
| SDK - particularly the lack of background processes or Safari-plugins for
| third-party software - are enough to prevent Adobe from developing a new
| iPhone-specific client, unless Apple step in to allow them extra flexibility.
