Just like Flash Player _10.1_ is being designed for touch, not any prior version of Flash. Saying Flash wasn't originally designed for touch, etc. is the same as saying HTML wasn't originally designed for touch, etc.

listen, I get what you are saying: the past is the past, but we want to move on, now, and adobe seems to be moving glacially.
