FTC denies request for documents on Adobe complaint, confirms investigation of Apple’s SDK rules?

Sure, Apple and Adobe aren\’t the best of friends, but their disagreement goes just a little further than mild distaste. Apple moved to ban iOS apps not written through its own developer framework (SDK), which kind of killed off Adobe\’s iPhone Flash developer tools. Adobe in turn issued a complaint to the FTC, a complaint that Wired requested a replica of under the Freedom of knowledge Act. That complaint was denied considering \” disclosure of that material could reasonably be expected to interfere with the conduct of the Commission\’s law enforcement activities.\” Which is another strong indication that the FTC is currently investigating Apple and deciding whether the company is acting properly by preventing third-party access to its iOS devices. What\’s next? We likely won\’t hear anything until the FTC makes up its mind, and even then only if it decides Apple isn\’t playing as nice correctly.
