Adobe wants to give Apple a little constructive criticism

As a lot of people know, Adobe is working on getting Flash out for mobile phones, which would open up a whole new world of mobile entertainment (cell phones wouldn’t be held to only third party apps like YouTube, but could actually go to sites like Hulu to watch television shows).
There is, however, a war brewing between Adobe and Apple. While cell phones and the iPhone have never been able to play anything that is Flash based, Adobe has gone and added a new error screen that pertains directly to the iPhone and Apple.
The error message says “Apple restricts the use of technologies required by products like Flash player. Until Apple eliminates these restrictions, Adobe cannot provide Flash Player for the iPhone or iPod Touch.”
I am guessing that Adobe’s idea when it posted this was to get users angry enough to contact Apple about Flash not being supported. The only thing I can think of that could maybe get users even more angry than saying that Apple is at fault is to say which devices do allow Flash.
I am actually looking forward to having Flash on my Palm Pre, although now it doesn’t look like I will be getting it at all on my iPod Touch.
Note to Apple: It would be nice to be able to pick any app we’d like
