iPhone users still have NO FLASH support!
Yawn, "Flash on the way": Old news - give me functioning Flash or I don't care.
(oh yea, Copy/Paste would be nice too) - alpha88, on 01/31/2009, -3/+112I need to start an iPhone/iPod Touch flash game website immediately.
- Apocalyptic0n3, on 02/01/2009, -5/+69They need to fix Flash on the Mac platform first. There is no reason that a simple Youtube video pushed my MacBook to 150F minimum. That is ridiculous. An extra 40-60F just because it is flash.
- dn11, on 02/01/2009, -4/+57adobe should work on fixing the problems with flash 10 while they're at it. i've experienced various problems with it on all platforms - especially with full screen video. and I don't understand why playing a video in flash requires so much more system resources than playing video with the same or similar encoding in VLC or quicktime
- digitalpencil, on 01/31/2009, -1/+44There are a few hurdles to be overcome afaic.. Obvious ones like reduced CPU usage (which is something Adobe should be working on regardless of platform).
My only concern is that Jobs' 'middle-ground' equates to a slightly-less-crippled-than-light-version as there's no chance he's going to allow a full AS3 plugin to run on the iPhone OS. It would render the appstore policies useless and release all of Apple's control over content. - skyshock1, on 02/01/2009, -1/+40Flash 10 has already been demo'd on the G1.
- bbqsalad, on 02/01/2009, -15/+53I bet Apple charges for it
- ocellnuri, on 02/01/2009, -1/+36This is my favorite part of the article:
"And in the meantime, the cellphone maker has publicly advocated HTML 5 as a replacement and is collaborating with fellow browser developers Mozilla and Opera to perform many of the same functions of Flash but in a more universal and less resource-hungry standard." - ECas123, on 02/01/2009, -2/+37Sweet! I can be told I won a free iPhone ON my iPhone for being the 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000th. visitor to digg!

- IdanE, on 02/01/2009, -1/+31Actually jailbreaking won't actually void any warranties. There are 2 situations where you might need to activate the warranty:
1. Something is messed up and it doesn't work right, and you want to fix it - in this case you just restore the phone (even go into DFU if it makes you feel better) - the result is an unjailbroken phone ready for apple's techs.
2. You can't get the phone to turn on and thus can't restore it - odds are that in this case, apple would just replace your phone, send it to a lab where the 1st thing they need to do is wipe the flash out of privacy concerns, etc.
Either way - you can't get busted jailbreaking an iphone, even if you need to make good on a warranty. - crazlunatic, on 02/01/2009, -7/+32about time... now what about copy and paste?
- nunofgs, on 02/01/2009, -2/+25The same happens on a windows computer. Try it.
- napsack, on 02/01/2009, -3/+24Thanks for the idea I might just do that right now :P
- nunofgs, on 02/01/2009, -3/+23I don't know when Flash will be out, but I CAN tell you that the cure for cancer is coming really soon!
- 007isbond1, on 02/01/2009, -2/+21if i jailbait?! what!?!
- RyeBrye, on 02/01/2009, -1/+20Yes... and as a G1 owner I've been wondering for the past 2 months where the hell the player is, or why we haven't heard anything about it since then.
- alpha88, on 02/01/2009, -0/+17I've got a head start on you, muahaha.
- nunofgs, on 02/01/2009, -2/+19Yeah, no kidding. I bet they'll say Flash is too much of a resource-hog and only that faster next-generation iPhone processor will do the trick.
Wouldn't be the first time. - birdman14, on 02/01/2009, -4/+20copy and paste is already there if u JB.
- damonic, on 02/01/2009, -12/+26Some of us still have warrantees and would like copy and paste without voiding them.
- frieddonuts, on 02/01/2009, -1/+14Haha that would really blow Adobe out of the water- no wonder they're scrambling to develop an iPhone plugin. Personally, I think they're too late, and that their core flash format is an outdated, bloated mess. I always stream in H.264 whenever the option's available.
- Sarawanan, on 02/01/2009, -3/+15This is obviously going to be exclusively on the next generation iPhone with the better processor as will be the push updates.
- inactive, on 02/01/2009, -1/+13@Nephersir7. Adobe used a G1 to demo Flash 10.
- RyeBrye, on 02/01/2009, -1/+12Wrong. Flash CAN - and DOES - use the GPU.

- spookyttws, on 02/01/2009, -3/+11Then Mozilla needs to get to work on that Firefox Mobile with ad blocker.
- phphreak, on 02/01/2009, -0/+7Just when you thought your iPhone battery would last more than 5 hours....
- chkdg8, on 02/01/2009, -2/+9I don't understand, I thought Adobe said that hey were ready to do it but Apple didn't allow:

- chrisbarr, on 02/01/2009, -0/+7I think it's pretty bad, and a lot of others do as well. Check out this Apple discussion about it: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID= ...
- 16x9, on 02/01/2009, -3/+9I see your point but I'm thinking you could look at it another way in that it's already possible to run web-apps on the iPhone/Touch that don't have to go through the Apple approval process. Perhaps Apple is thinking of this in those terms.
I suspect you're correct that we'll probably end up with some version "Flash Lite" which won't run most of the modern stuff out there. Too bad because an efficient-as-possible iPhone/Touch plug-in that's at parity with the full Flash plug-in would be much better. - PabloPowell, on 02/01/2009, -1/+7http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/gg282/rizzy811/ ...
- Awezing, on 02/01/2009, -4/+10As a long time Mac user, and a multi-platorm user now, I haven't noticed any difference in experience between the PC and Mac flash versions. Maybe you have some hardware issues.
- addiktion, on 02/01/2009, -4/+10Apple is forced to make a flash player to compete with the competition. I wouldn't be surprised if some form of multitasking is available in the next generation iPhone too. After all the Palm Pre does this so well. Did I mention this competition is great!
- esumti, on 02/01/2009, -0/+5Youtube re-encoded their videos to H264 specifically for the iPhone and so did away with the Flash FLV format.
Thats why it's an app and not a browser plugin. - a3sax, on 02/01/2009, -0/+5dugg for the zoom that doesn't zoom very much
- stuffradio, on 02/01/2009, -1/+6Why not have 2?
- inactive, on 02/01/2009, -0/+5Flash Aids.
Its killing you, you just dont know yet. - ADDanny, on 02/01/2009, -3/+8jailbreak your phone and you got a few options for copy and paste
- Gee1004, on 02/01/2009, -1/+6Been hearing this flash crap for 2 years. I bet
- Koyder, on 02/01/2009, -0/+5Here's why I think Flash on the iPhone is not necessarily a great idea:
http://img525.imageshack.us/img525/6066/picture1hw ... - srg13, on 02/01/2009, -0/+5Probably the #1 reason why I don't think I'll install it on my Touch. That and I never really seem to need it. The only place I'd use it are on video players from sites apart from Youtube (like Vimeo etc.)
- NinjaJoey, on 02/01/2009, -0/+5Some people need to learn more about jailbreaking before making incorrect assumptions.
- mrBitch, on 02/01/2009, -3/+8RE: " I bet Apple charges for it. "
As the application "owner" of Flash, that's really up to Adobe, but since Adobe has never charged for a flash plugin before, I'm guessing you will see it as a free download. - sleeknerve, on 02/01/2009, -0/+4also AIDS
- deadbaby, on 02/01/2009, -1/+5Let's hope they have a disable feature or better yet a white list feature. I don't want Flash on 90% of the sites I use.
- Hindu_Wardrobe, on 02/01/2009, -0/+4Get flash on the Blackberries first! If I'm not mistaken, my friend's LG Voyager had flash of some sort... at least, he was able to watch Xtube vids in tiny resolution. (As far as I know, Xtube doesn't have proper mobile support)
My point being, if they can put flash on the Voyager, they can put it on the Blackberry and the iPhone. - napsack, on 02/01/2009, -0/+4I would definitely appreciate that also, my system seems to crash sometimes when watching flash videos.
