While Steve Jobs is preventing his customers from seeing flash content that the
rest of the world sees just because he does not like Adobe, analysts have told
him to get out more.
Jobs has been publicly trashing Flash as an ‘on its way out’ and blaming it for
making his expensive Macs crash when cheaper PCs can run it without many
problems. According to
Top News Wall Street analysts think Adobe is great and according to Bloomberg 19 out
of 29 analysts covering Adobe recommend its stock.
UBS analyst Brent Thill said Adobe was a darling company that could do nothing
wrong and its demise was overblown. Other analysts have been saying that Jobs had got Flash completely wrong and
was cutting of his nose to spite his face on the issue.
All his antics are doing is denying a fairly innocent bit of software that
works on 90 per cent of the world's computers and shows users more than 75 per
cent of web video content. While it might be a bit clunky it still works which is more than many sites
seen through an iPhone.
