Robert Scoble: Steve Jobs "Lying" About Flash


Former Microsoft employee Robert Scoble says he has a source that says Steve Jobs is being a liar liar about flash:

"Today I got a note from someone I know who works closely with Adobe and Apple. He saw my “Apple stabs Adobe in the Back” post and wanted to give me some details about what’s going on between Adobe and Apple. He says that he’s seen Flash running on an iPhone in a lab and that it’s been running for quite a while and that it’s not a technical issue that caused Steve Jobs to go public about not putting Adobe’s Flash on the iPhone. He wrote “Geez - my Chumby with half the CPU horsepower can run Flash8/AS2.”"


So what if it can run flash? It also runs World of Warcraft. Jobs said it runs too slowly, so how does the above information make him a liar?
