Adobe will make Flash work on iPhone

by Stephen Chinnadorai on Mar 20, 2008 at 09:36 AM

iPhoneJust when you thought Adobe and Apple would never bring Flash to the iPhone, they announce that Flash will be coming to the iPhone. No date has yet been announced, as Adobe are still in the basic stages of making it work. Adobe’s CEO says: “Flash is synonymous with the Internet and, frankly, anybody who wants to browse the Web and experience the Web’s glory really needs Flash support”. I definitely agree with what he’s saying - if Apple wants to bring the true internet experience in your pocket, they need to include Flash. It’s not just sites like YouTube that use it, it’s also a widely-used form of online advertising - which, while not being good for the consumer, is great for website owners. Flash is also the most common way of playing casual games on the internet on sites like MiniClip.

Adobe hopes to utilize Apple’s iPhone SDK to make Flash possible on the iPhone. I presume this iPhone version of Flash will also work on the iPod Touch. I’m glad Adobe are willing to bring Flash player to the iPhone - it’s a great move for both Apple and Adobe.
