9to5Mac een bericht over een nieuw initiatief van de Europese comissie de "digital agenda":
Volgens 9to5Mac wordt onderzocht in hoeverre belangrijke spelers op de markt bepaalde beperkingen aan die markt opleggen. Zoals daar is het verbieden door Apple van middels Flash CS5 gecompileerde apps.
The Antitrust suit specifically targets Apple disallowance of developers to use Flash to create application on Apple's market-leading iOS. EU Commissioner Neelie Kroes curtly states "We need to make sure that significant market players cannot just choose to deny interoperability with their product." This may force Apple to allow iOS developers to use other Programming suites such as Adobe's Flash.
The main challenge is that consumers need choice when it comes to software or hardware products," the commissioner insisted."Any kind of IT product should be able to communicate with any type of service in the future.
