The public face-off between Adobe and Apple just got serious. How serious? Full page Washington Post ads serious. The ads reuse the same material we've seen before...but they're so slick someone is helping Adobe finesse this stuff.
Adobe's campaign includes a two-pronged attack: The first, which is nastily spiky in a sarcastic way, features a straight and simple "We heart Apple" tag, followed by the hook: "What we don't love is anybody taking away your freedom to choose what you create, how you create it, and what you experience on the web." That's a direct, unadorned stab at Apple's closed iPhone development platform.
The other prong of Adobe's attack constitutes an open letter to the world's netizens from Adobe's cofounders and chairmen Chuck Geschke and John Warnock. This explicitly addresses how Adobe embraces open Web thinking, and suggests that Apple's closed platform may be undermining the future of future mobile computing paradigms.
