Clash of the Titans (Apple vs Adobe vs Google)

It is well known that Apple deliberately remove support of Flash from its hand-held devices in order to capitalize a business model so successful that could be easily jeopardize by the existence of Flash and its free offerings. Now it seems that the fight is escalating to a new level.

It looks like that the tablet market is similar to the pre-iPhone era of mobile phone market. Lots of OSes - iPhone OS, Android, Windows 7, XP, Linux and a bunch of others, quickly obsoleted models, applications on many different platforms, etc.

Google comes into the ring, embedding Flash into Chrome. This is a heavyweight, enough to have a kind of tablet that rivals the iPad. See what Engadget said
