Apple seems to have changed its strategy from being neutral (towards the likes of Adobe or Google) and going outright on the offensive.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 9px;\"><b>Resource<\/b>:<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/www.itproportal.com\/portal\/news\/article\/2010\/4\/10\/apple-iphone-os4-introduces-legal-adobe-flash-block\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cupertino based Apple Inc., has decided to prevent developers from coding Flash applications for any of its products&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[84],"tags":[65,765,245],"class_list":{"0":"post-688","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-web-application-development","7":"tag-iphone-4g","8":"tag-iphone-application-development","9":"tag-iphone-os-4-0"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Apple iPhone OS4 Introduces Legal Adobe Flash Block<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Apple introduced iOS 4, the latest version of its mobile operating system for the iPhone and iPad.
