iPhone Get Adobe Flash

Adobe confirmed yesterday at the Flash On The Beach (FOTB) conference in Brighton, UK that it is actually developing a Flash Player for the iPhone. Even though it's still work in progress, with the iPhone is at its second generation, it's about time Apple!

Flash is basically the only thing that keeps the iPhone from not delivering and now Adobe confirmed that such an application is in development. Ever since the iPhone was launched in 2007, one of the most sought after features that were missing from the phone's Web browser was the possibility to run Flash content.

Rumor Mill Speaks The Truth

Previously, it has been speculated that a Flash version for iPhone existed, but nothing ever moved further from rumors. Apparently, the only thing keeping Adobe from moving on with developing a Flash app for the iPhone was actually Apple's closed nature when it comes to the iPhone's platform.

When Will We Have It?

Whether Flash for iPhone will ever see the day of light is yet unknown. Adobe officials said that once their application will meet Steve Job's standards, it might just make an appearance in the next incarnation of the iPhone. Nevertheless, as we've seen so far, older iPhone users could get a software update as well, but older hardware might not support the CPU intensive feature.

"But I already have YouTube on my iPhone"

Flash based websites can be fun and innovative and these days, we all
use Flash, whether we watch YouTube videos or just browse certain
websites. "But I already have YouTube on my iPhone" one might say.
Yes, we do, but we have to keep in mind that there are many other
websites that use Flash video out there, like CNN and PCWorld, and if we want to have mobile access to all these feature rich content, that is what we need.

While Adobe is still working on Flash for iPhone, we just have to sit tight and wait. Meanwhile, all we can do is use dedicated applications that come for the iPhone and hope for the best.
