theappleblog.com — The ongoing back-and-forth between Apple and Adobe over Flash on the iPhone is well-documented. First it was, then wasn?t, then was, then probably wasn?t again a possibility. If we take Apple CEO Steve Jobs at his word, then the problem lies with Flash being too heavy and Flash Lite being too insubstantial.

Hulu could easily solve this problem. Flash is not the answer, Hulu is already using h264 for their video, all theyd have to do is permit their videos to be streamed as a standard mp4 instead of this little flash player. This is exactly what youtube does to allow the youtube client to work. Hell hulu could RELEASE AN APP and completely get around this issue, because lets face it if you're going to watch shows like this it might as well be a real app and not a webpage you'd have to zoom in on and play with controls meant for a large screen and a mouse.Flash games, no, don't care.

Hi illegalcortex: you're a complete idiot, and you don't know what the hell you're talking about. I meant that the iphone can play youtube videos without the need of flash. And you would know that if you knew anything at all about the iphone, or had done just a little research before you typed something about it.It's not a matter of enabling flash. Flash does not exist in the iphone os at all. It's not there. There's no way to "turn it on". Do you understand? It needs to be ported, which means its source code needs to be modified in order to run well on an iphone, which has limited processor and memory, and which also must run certain applications and services in the background at all times--which themselves further limit the amount of processor and RAM available. Of course there will eventually be an implementation of Flash for the iphone. It's a matter of marrying one technology to the other in such a way that neither break, and this is a pretty tough one. Adobe isn't exactly known for their efficient code and of course they won't let Apple modify their source for them, so it's something of a tight spot. Rest assured both entities understand how much money there is in getting flash to work, and they both understand that its in their best interests to do so. This is a technological problem, not an economic one, pinhead.

Wha? Flash is proprietary Adobe's thing, how could Apple write it?. Apple encourages to use Javascript/CSS/HTML for all the fancy you want for your web pages.
