Apple (NSDQ: AAPL<\/a>) CEO Steve Jobs surprised Adobe (NSDQ: ADBE<\/a>) today by publishing a 1,671-word essay<\/a> on his thoughts on why Apple does not allow Flash on iPhones, iPods and iPads. This afternoon, Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen, made an appearance at the WSJ’s office to participate in a live blog<\/a>, and to defend the company, against what he called was an “extraordinary attack.”<\/p>\n

Without a referee, there could be no winner. Jobs accused Adobe and Flash of being a closed and proprietary system, and Narayan chuckled in response, calling Flash “an open specification.” Jobs said Flash drains batteries, and Narayan said that’s “patently false.”\n<\/p>\n

While Jobs railed on about the downsides of Flash, Narayan stuck to the benefits: that Apple should let customers decide and that Adobe’s ultimate goal is to create a platform that lets content be written once for multiple platforms, and that a more cohesive world will “eventually prevail.”<\/p>\n
