Adobe CEO responds to Steve Jobs open letter
by Justin Horn on Apr 29th, 2010 @ 3:21 pmWSJ has an exclusive interview with Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen:
The Journal’s Alan Murray will have an exclusive interview with Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen at about 2:35 p.m. Eastern, and Digits will live-blog the event. Excerpts of the video are set to be available on the News Hub live show at 4 p.m., with the full video to follow.
Here are some gems from Narayen (from the live blog):
The technology problems that Mr. Jobs mentions in his essay are “really a smokescreen,” Mr. Narayan says. He says more than 100 applications that used Adobe’s software were accepted in the App Store. “When you resort to licensing language” to restrict this sort of development, he says, it has “nothing to do with technology.”
To conclude, Mr. Narayan says he’s for “letting customers decide,” but that the multi-platform world will “eventually prevail.” And the interview wraps up.
Basically they are calling BS on Jobs, but they are just making themselves look bad. I don’t think they are going to be happy when the let the customers decide.
Adobe you have some great products, let this crappy one die already!
