If you’re one of the many people that were excited about Adobe’s iPhone Flash statement a few days ago, this is bad news for you. Adobe has now decided that they won’t be able to bring Flash Player to the iPhone using the SDK alone. Adobe has said that they would need help from Apple to actually get Flash implemented on the iPhone/iPod Touch. Steve Jobs doesn’t show any interest at all to bringing Flash on the iPhone - probably one of the reasons that the iPhone has a dedicated YouTube player, rather than Flash YouTube.

It is yet again disappointing to see the iPhone limited to viewing webpages without Flash, while other devices like the Nokia N95 and Sony PSP have support for it. Although the iPhone’s Safari browser experience is by far the best I’ve ever used on a mobile device, the addition of Flash would have made it even better.
