Adobe says Flash is ready

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?

A world without Flash? If you mean I never have to click skip intro again, then hell yes!

I surf with FireFox, FlashBlock and NoScript which means I have to click about five times and wait 3 - 5 seconds before viewing Flash content when I want to. Beats the hell out of all the other annoying stuff.

Flash to me means adverts or pseudo-arty web sites selling overpriced junk, neither find a place in my reality based worldview.

If Adobe does it right, I think Apple will allow it.
