Adobe's Flash for cellphones simply isn't good enough for the iPhone or at least that's the sentiment CNNMoney attributes to Apple CEO Steve Jobs.

The iPhone, with all its cutting-edge mobile Internet trickery, needs something much better than the current Flash player that Adobe makes for cellphones, according to the iCEO.

The Flash Player option that fits the bill is made for devices like laptops that are larger than the iPhone; as a consequence, it performs too slowly on the iPhone, he added.

"There's this missing product in the middle," Jobs said.

Because the iPhone can't yet use Flash, which is the main delivery method for web video, only a relative handful of videos are available and those have been ported by YouTube.

Editor's note: Well, that's disappointing. I suspect that Adobe has balked at the prospect of paying for the development of a version of Flash just for the iPhone.

Whatever the case, if not Flash, then what?
