Adobe says Flash is ready
October 1st 2008
Flash Magazine reports that Paul Betlem, a senior Adobe engineer has said Flash for iPhone will be ready soon.
'My team is working on Flash on the iPhone, but it's a closed platform,' he said at a developer conference in the UK, noting that Apple makes all the decisions about what does and does not play on the platform.
Whereas Valley Wag believes Flash websites and videos are "no longer the Skip Intro bane" they once were, I strongly beg to differ.
Further, Valley Wag aside, none of the publications covering this issue hold much if any hope that Apple allow Flash on the iPhone and for good reason--it would allow developers to make an end run on the AppStore, creating revenue and control issues for Apple.
Lastly, regardless of any current or future value other phones get from Flash, the iPhone is the platinum standard for the mobile web and until someone makes Apple change it ways, there's no reason to allow Flash.
Flash on Android anyone?
