I found an interesting article on Financial Times that attempts to provide an answer to Ashish's question on why Apple's devices do not support Flash. Apple had the choice to launch an iPad that was similar to the Mac in terms of architecture, i.e., allow the Mac users to run softwares of their own choice. However, it chose the iPhone architecture that tightly controls the softwares that the owner can run.
In my opinion, Apple is trying to monopolize a lot of industries such as telecom, software and hardware at the same time. Is the world looking at a more serious threat to free competition than the act of bundling IE with Windows?
