Apple CEO Steve Jobs now revealed that he did not begin the long-running feud with Adobe over Flash. He only did so when Adobe started to raise the stink.

Steve Jobs said: We didn’t start off to have a war with Flash, or anything else. We just made a technical decision that we weren’t gonna put the energy into getting Flash on our platform. We told Adobe, if you ever have this thing running fast, let us know, which they never did. It wasn’t until we shipped the iPad and it didn’t use Flash that Adobe started to raise a stink about it.

Steve also declared the end of the post PC era with the iPad/tablet overtaking PCs.

Apple has previously posted a memo from Steve Jobs regarding Flash. In a nutshell, the Apple CEO says Flash is unreliability, insecure and has low performance. And he did not want developers to use Flash tools to develop sub-standard iPhone, iPad apps.

Steve said: Flash was created during the PC era—for PCs and mice. The mobile era is about low power devices, touch interfaces and open Web standards—all areas where Flash falls short. Adobe should focus more on creating tools for the future and less on criticizing Apple for leaving the past behind.
