Full FeedFlash coming to iPhone soon?
When the iPhone launched in the summer of 2006 the web browser, Safari, lacked one key element of the web, Flash. YouTube had to convert a whole load of videos to H.264 so users could watch the videos. Along with videos, your iPhone is missing a lot of wonderful things that you could have been viewing on your iPhone’s web browser for almost eight months. Gearlive was correct when they told us that the 1.1.3 firmware would be coming out any day with those “jiggly” icons, and now the are confident that is is on its way. “Flash has not yet made it to the iPhone solely due to business negotiations,” Andru Edwards. Another reason why Flash may not have made its way onto this device is battery and CPU issues. Currently, there are 2 ways to develop web apps for the iPhone and iPod Touch, using HTML/CSS/Javascript web standards, and using Cocoa. This 3rd way would open more oppurnities for developers to create web apps on the iPhone, but will take up a lot of battery power. This can be done from a iPhone firmware update, as Apple has previously done this with the iPod Touch upgrade, so don’t worry about waiting to buy a new phone.

Am I the only one that is putting 2 and 2 together here? They’re probably going to put some Adobe AIR puke on the thing. I mean, first there is the MacBook AIR. Now there could be some sort of iPhone AIR play-on. This would be closer to a full SDK than just a web-browser enhancement.
