I read it like Pat does, below. In my mind, the weakest part of his statement is the framing that takes place when he conveniently ignores the App Store as being a closed system, which is what Adobe is referring to. Adobe is not stupid enough to think Apple is closed in regards to web standards. Hell, they practically pioneered them.
So, when he ignores the App Store point and frames it in terms of the web, he ignores Adobe's initial argument. Having said that, it really is all about the web and not the App store. Flash on the iPhone/iPad is not the big story here, it's flash becoming obsolete.
