When Will Apple Cave And Accept Flash? Maybe When It Doesn't Suck

I read an interesting article this morning that suggested Apple would change its mind and put Adobe's Flash technology on its iOS devices within a year. I don't think that's going to happen.In an open letter to users, Apple CEO Steve Jobs gave several reasons why he didn't want Flash on the iPad, iPhone or iPod touch. They are: Flash isn't open; the full web; reliability, security and performance; battery life; and touch.Adobe began shipping Flash Player 10.1 for Mobile last June, but even Laptop magazine admitted that "Steve Jobs was right," and that "Adobe's offering seems like it's too little, too late." Granted, that report was from six months ago, but it still doesn't bode well for the technology. There is no doubt that Adobe is making advances with Flash on mobile devices, but I don't believe future changes will be enough to get Apple to adopt the technology.
