Apple bets on Adobe flash. And this is what is interpreted after Apple have hired Kevin Lynch that until last Monday he was the technological director of Adobe Systems.
It seems that Apple is pawned since the death of Steve Jobs in doing the exact opposite that the co-founder of Apple was in charge of reviling in life. First it was the iPad mini, then bigger screens for the iPhone 5 and now Apple signs one of the great defenders of Adobe Flash technology.
Steve Jobs
And is that the company Adobe Systems announced Tuesday that Kevin Lynch was leaving his position as chief technology officer following his resignation the day before to make the jump to the Cupertino company. Kevin Lynch will join the organization chart of Apple below Bob Mansfield who is the current vice president of technology development.
In the statement provided by Adobe Systems It is said to the press that Kevin Lynch is looking for new opportunities and that his departure from the company will be effective as of today, March 22. From that same day, Kevin will coordinate the work between the Software and Hardware teams of the Apple.
Kevin's addition to the organization chart Apple It does not cease to surprise by the differences between Lynch himself and Steve Jobs since Kevin was in charge of responding from Adobe Systems to all attacks that the co-founder of Apple tipped Flash technology. Lynch to each attack of Jobs came to the fore to tell us the benefits of Flash.
Kevin LynchAmong the different communications offered by Lynch in its communications via twitter or Adobe blog are the most prominent:
- «Flash it was originally designed for tablets 15 years before that market was ready to take off »
- «We have not had the required cooperation from Apple (to enable Flash in the browser of iPhone, iPad and iPod) »
Steve Jobs was not far behind when it came to expressing his true opinion on Flash:
- «Flash was created during the PC age, but the mobile age is all about low-power devices, touch interfaces, and open web standards, all of which are areas where Flash It is not up to scratch"
Jobs even went so far as to blame Adobe flash to be responsible for the crashes that occurred in the MAC computers.
The question that immediately arises in the head is, would Kevin Lynch be a signing of Apple if Steve Jobs were still in command? and the following is Will the signing of Kevin Lynch make us see soon Flash on ios now that he has abandoned it Android? What you think?
