Adobe Have Made It! (facepalm) - TheKorn2, on 10/01/2008, -4/+130Dear Vendor,
Your application, "FLASH FOR IPHONE", was rejected for inclusion in the iphone App Store for the following reason(s):
* Concurrently running applications are not allowed on the iphone.
* Duplicates functionality of itunes by allowing users to choose non-apple-sanctioned content
* Demonstrates the poor capabilities of our partner's poor network
* Allows users to access streaming porn
* Requires more memory than the device has for a satisfactory porn experience
Please revise your application to alleviate all these problems, plus the six more we didn't bother telling you about in this form.
This comment is covered by the iphone developer NDA. You may not share this comment or your application without first pointing to Cuppertino, CA, USA and praying three times daily. - reeds101, on 10/01/2008, -6/+114Now for Apple to OK it, that my friend is the tricky part.

- natslovR, on 10/01/2008, -8/+81We definitely need flash soon, how else can we enjoy all the full screen advertisements and other webads
- slightlyoffbeat, on 10/01/2008, -10/+72Doing well?
- BossKey, on 10/01/2008, -10/+64All posters who are jokingly making fun of "Adobe have made" as wrong or lol grammar, are wrong, or at the very least, geocentric.
"Adobe have made" is correct in all parts of the world that speak the original form of English. "Adobe has made..." is correct only in the parts of the world that speak the American offshoot of English. Listen to the BBC for a while and you'll understand. - starkruzr, on 10/01/2008, -5/+45It would be an OPTION, not required.
- supermansuper, on 10/01/2008, -7/+44I dont see this happening. Here is why:
Flash on iPhone means the Flash Player runs on the iPhone. This means that an application written for flash will run the same way it runs on a PC or a Mac. That means that developers can simply create Flex/Flash applications and not bother to pay, download and learn Apple's SDK that is based on Objective-C. This means that the apps for iPhone are no longer exclusive to the iPhone. This means that iPhone's App store will start bleeding money (and developers). This means that the crop of developers that Apple hopes to bring to the Mac platform from iPhone craze are no longer there. Obviously, the same goes for Java or Silverlight or any virtual machine implemention for iPhone.
It is not about battery life or user experience or Apple's boneheaded control over iPhone apps. It is about Apple's aim to maintain exclusivity of the iPhone apps. - fandyboy, on 10/01/2008, -2/+38As a Brit I'd like to apologise for p3ngwin's rmarks, he clearly has sand in his vag.
- jonthebishop, on 10/01/2008, -8/+40Working on flash does not mean it will happen. Even if they get flash to run on the iPhone it doesn't mean it will run well, the iPhone has very limited resources. You know how often Mobile Safari crashes now? Adding flash will only make it worse.
I would love to see Flash on the iPhone, but speaking as someone who writes iPhone software I really don't think device has the resources to handle it. You are working with an under-clocked 600mhz processor and 128mb of ram. My MacBook Pro sometimes has trouble when I have more than one tab open with flash content, imagine it on a device like the iPhone with a lot less power. - geoffeg, on 10/01/2008, -22/+53I really don't want flash on the iphone as part of the browser. flash on a resource constrained device? not good...
- digitalpencil, on 10/01/2008, -1/+30To 808etham:
You lose.
The correct use of the article would be 'an'. Also, quotation marks should be matched.
Sincerely,
England. - reeds101, on 10/01/2008, -4/+31I have made sexy time but you don't hear me bragging about it...
- ultrafez, on 10/01/2008, -1/+28Thank you... someone who recognises that American English is just an offshoot of British English.
- colto, on 10/01/2008, -2/+29In American English it is incorrect while in British/Australian English it is correct. In America we are used to referring to groups as a singular noun while it is common elsewhere to refer to it/them in the plural form.
- simX, on 10/01/2008, -5/+28Marked as inaccurate. They said they are working on it, not that they have made it. Let's ditch the ***** proprietary video format and go for something like... oh I dunno... H.264 which the iPhone can already play, just maybe?
- BossKey, on 10/01/2008, -4/+27@cubbiesx - A group such as Adobe is grammatically considered "they" in countries speaking the Queen's English. Such as the linked site, aussieiphone.com...Australia.
- filemeaway, on 10/01/2008, -13/+33Actually "Adobe have made..." is correct if you take Adobe as meaning "they" and not "it".
- tonicboy, on 10/01/2008, -2/+21You people are so busy picking apart the grammar, you forgot the facts. Adobe has not made anything. They have only admitted to be "actively developing" it.
- FaberfoX, on 10/01/2008, -0/+19It can and has been done. The Nokia N800 has even lower specs (330 MHz ARM), the same amount of ram, higher screen resolution (800x480, more than double the pixels to render) and a gecko based browser, and it plays most flash videos decently.
In any case adblock plus of flashblock are needed for the stupidly heavy flash sites. - j4200, on 10/01/2008, -0/+18The first rule of making iPhone software
YOU DO NOT TALK ABOUT MAKING iPHONE SOFTWARE! - damm, on 10/01/2008, -1/+16Buried for being inaccurate. It's being made, it's not made yet.
It's amazing how words get twisted. - Dracusis, on 10/01/2008, -2/+17As long as you don't jiz inside a female you can do whatever you like, but the last thing we need is someone like you breeding.
- r3zonance, on 10/01/2008, -1/+16"A couple of years ago, intel wouldn't even process chips for them"
Ummm, I think you'll find Apple didn't want Intel's chips a few years ago, as they weren't focused on architecture and overall performance per watt (just the old "mega/gigahertz war"). - Kruez, on 10/01/2008, -11/+26My iPhone has enough problems without flash.
On the other hand: porn. - damntourists, on 10/01/2008, -10/+23since when are lolcats posing as diggers?
- l800LEMMINGS, on 10/01/2008, -3/+15Adobe flash for iphone- because maybe i don't want to wait till i get home to watch Yahtzee
- starkruzr, on 10/01/2008, -2/+14I don't understand your reasoning.
Why would you prefer not to have the OPTION to use websites that are otherwise unusable because they depend heavily on Flash?
This is something that could easily be controlled in MobilePreferences.app rather than even "click to load and run." Its presence could be entirely opaque to you. - bloominoctober, on 10/01/2008, -9/+21Wrong flash.
- subliminalurge, on 10/01/2008, -1/+13Yeah, but you're also stuck using Windows Mobile. It's just not worth the pain.
- molotovcat, on 10/01/2008, -3/+15Sorry but that is pretty stupid. Since when are PC/Mac programs made in Flash? That would be the ***** program ever. Enabling Flash for Safari will NOT mean loss of money for Apple. Flash is designed primarily for browser apps. Given the shape and size of the iPhone screen, and the fact that you would have to download the program each time you run it since flash would be in Safari only, I have to claim this holds no water whatsoever.
- inactive, on 10/01/2008, -1/+12or...HULU!!!!!
they need a hulu app. seriously i would die happy. - gscoggin, on 10/01/2008, -1/+12COME ON PEOPLE! Any self respecting iPhone user wants to have (as violentvinyl points out) the option to have flash on their "resource constrained device". I don't think I'm the only one who's frustrated by limitations the iPhone as far as access to online media. Hasn't anyone else been frustrated that a hand held device, with such wonderful web browsing capability and potential, has been limited by Apple's proprietary software? I for one welcome any improvements to the iPhone that brings it closer to the worlds first true hand held PC.
- stupidStan, on 10/01/2008, -2/+13That is a great point, I had never thought of that.
It's pretty obvious when you think about it... - fluidfoundation, on 10/01/2008, -23/+32I have made comment!
- violentvinyl, on 10/01/2008, -3/+12I want to be able to view video sharing sites in addition to YouTube. My desire for a more robust device trumps your desire to be ignorant about which sites you visit or features you activate/download. Not to mention, as someone who uses a phrase like "resource constrained device" I can't believe you wouldn't welcome Flash on your iPhone if given the chance. I'm sure you're just playing devil's advocate here.
- Sneakernets, on 10/01/2008, -6/+15WHERE IS IT FOR POCKET PC?
...
Still waiting! Been waiting since 2004! - CobaltBlue, on 10/01/2008, -1/+10fandyboy, that should be said as "Don't we no"
- MikeCerm, on 10/01/2008, -0/+8You're wrong. The word "Steelers" is plural. You'd likely say, "The Steelers have made...".
If you were talking about "The Pittsburg Steelers organization," regardless of the Queen's english, You'd say, "The organization has made an offer."
In America, corporations are treated as a single entity, both legally and linguistically, with exceptions made for groups with plural names. - inactive, on 10/01/2008, -2/+10These work on iphone:

* shakes fist "Damn Yanks!" - Frozo, on 10/01/2008, -1/+8p3ngwin: Hate much?
- FriniK, on 10/01/2008, -0/+7word of warning on the video ...i might have downloaded some spyware from that site....not 100% sure though
- j4200, on 10/01/2008, -0/+6flash is mostly vector animations, not exclusively video
dip - r3zonance, on 10/01/2008, -2/+8"lets hope this gets implemented (or a version of flash), need to watch my videos on my iphone"
Don't need flash for that, all the worthwhile video sites now do iPhone video containers.
YouTube app works by loading the video stream in a compatible container with a H.264 stream. - migitalwarfare, on 10/01/2008, -1/+7when is THIS trend gonna die?
- Thousand, on 10/01/2008, -0/+6"...but speaking as someone who writes iPhone software I really don't think device has the resources to handle it."
Now you've done it. Expect Apple's legion of flying NDA monkeys at your location in 10-12 minutes. - svivian, on 10/01/2008, -0/+5Well they should, so their claims of being able to browse "the whole internet" become true.
@MikeCerm: you're talking a whole load of bollocks. Firstly running a flash app on the iphone is no different to running in the browsr. And of course you can download files, how do you think images are displayed? Flash would be no different in that regard. - ozziek, on 10/01/2008, -0/+5Tell you what, why don't we just try it and see what happens hey? If it's crap it's crap but at least we'll have the choice instead of second guessing it.
