What is Adobe doing?
PALOS VERDES, Calif.--"We produce the world's content," Adobe's Shantanu Narayen said today when D9 conference host Walt Mossberg asked him, "What's up with Flash?"
" Flash is really a small part of the company," Narayen said, offering no comfort to the world of Flash developers. Referring to the dust-up with Apple over Flash on the iPad, he added, "it's clear that it's not a technology issue...We allow people to author once," and publish anywhere. "It's a business model issue," he continued. "It's all about control of the applications you can run on the platform."

I expected that there would be a lull in flash work while Steve Jobs is telling people that it's cutting edge to make dry, on-line brochures for web-sites. But, I never expected that Adobe would immediately and obediently roll over on the issue.
I figured that the market would eventually bring Flash back since the same deficiencies in alternative platforms are still there. But, I don't see how it can if Adobe isn't willing to stand up for and invest in its own product.
Does anyone know where/who complaints can be sent to Adobe? Their contact us page is useless and the legion of Flash Evangelist folks they used to have seems to have disappeared over-night.
