As part of their iPhone 4.0 announcment yesterday, Apple amended their developer license agreement, forbidding “applications that link to Documented APIs through an intermediary translation or compatibility layer”. It’s ostensibly to protect the stability of the iPhone OS environment – which is certainly a good thing – but it also totally undermines Adobe’s strategy for getting Flash on the iPhone.

I wonder what the industry would have to say besides “oooh, multitasking!” if Microsoft tried a policy like that?

Can you say “Double Standard”?
