Adobe and Apple Working to Put Flash on iPhone—Someday [Flash]
Author: dexxter // Category: Announcements, Apple, Flash, News
Adobe’s
CEO told a World Economic Forum crowd that Apple and his company are
working to bring Flash to the iPhone. Unanswered is when that happens,
and in what form.
The Boy Genius Report blog takes a largely positive tack on Shantanu Narayen’s remarks,
but wisely wonders whether Flash will arrive as a standard in-browser
function for mobile Safari, or as a stand-alone app made for browsing
specific sites. PCWorld offers a more downbeat take,
noting the technical hurdles—processor, memory, and Apple’s needs for
access rights restrictions—and a sense of “boardroom wrangling.”
Most
would imagine that Flash on the iPhone is a matter of when, not
if—especially if Flash succeeds in pushing its Flash Lite platform onto
Windows Mobile and Android phones. But let’s hear your take—do you
enjoy having the web stripped of flashing, shiny doodads while you’re
mobile, or does a lack of Flash cripple your browsing life? Tell us in
the comments.
