Pretty clear and concise. Can't argue with the man…he has a clear vision in mind on where he wants to take his products.

Kool-Aid drinkers? Like John Gruber said in his piece today regarding the subject, our Activity Monitors don't lie! The main cause for a majority of crashes both on my Mac and PC are related to Flash. It is the number one cause for my battery to drain so quickly, it uses way too much power. Sometimes, it sounds like my laptop is going to take off with all the noise from the fans. Why would I want that on my iPhone?

I think if anything an open letter like this from Apple's top man makes this less of a 'drink the kool-aid' type subject. For a long time the lack of Flash support was a case of 'because Apple says so', with little or no explanations offered. At least now the reasons are out there. You can argue against those reasons, but at least the debate is being tackled head-on by Apple now it looks like.

apple drones. you're like republicans: ruining things for others, just out of spite.
I"D like flash because sites I go to regularly use it. AND I have an iphone.
no need to rain on my parade just because you kool-aid drinkers were told to by the big toe what to think.

I don't know Steve personally, but I'm bloody glad he wrote this! So, thanks, Steve. Now all those people complaining about not having flash and stupid popups, can now read it a weep…
