Obviously, Safari on the iPhone is not the EXACT same browser as Safari on the Mac. It’s a different interface built on top of the same library. That interface does not include flash for the time being.

Flash takes a bunch of ram and even more CPU to run. I am a Flash developer and I can tell you that Flash is being optimized for dual core processors just to make it work better on PCs. The iPhone can’t do what a new PC can do, so it can’t run the regular flash player 9. This means that it will require a limited version of the player. I think Adobe and Apple will need to work very closely on this. Also, a development tool will need to be created/added to Flash CS3 before anyone will be able to use Flash on the iPhone.

Right now there is Flash Light which runs on other mobile devices, but Flash Light wasnâ€™t intended to run inside a web browser. I think the iPhone Safari should be better than Flash Light because the iPhone is much more powerful than a regular phone.

I hope they will add games (using fingers) onto the iPhone since flash games don’t work on iPhone’s internet.

Your site is much more interesting when you criticize Apple’s poor decisions and not try and defend them and make everything Apple seem wonderful. Thanks.

I can’t wait until the 29th, not for an iPhone, but so that everyone can finally move on!!! I am tired of every fanboy site going on and on and on about the iPhone. Enough already!

i tend to go with mikey on this one.

Terminlogy is very important.. especially when you’re talking to media. this is the kind of thing people get sued over.
a spelling error here, a false fact there. things are taken rather literally.

if stevo claims that we’ll get REAL internet on the phone.. we should get REAL internet on the phone…
unless there are one of those asterisk clause on his presentation slides that says “‘REAL’ internet comprises of HTTP / HTTPS only”.

bahaha

QuickTime supports Flash on Mac OS X, so I’d assume you have flash support on the iPhone as well as it seems to support QuickTime content. PDF support is lacking.

Flash can only go on the phone if Apple allows it. Adobe can’t add it own their own. Same for Java.

If the phone does not have Java then how can anyone use etrade’s market watch?

Bottom line is that you MUST have both Flash and Java, no if ands or butts.

Then I’m not getting the phone until it’s faster than EDGE.

Mike you gotta realize Apple doesn’t make the Flash Player. If Adobe makes their flash player iPhone compatible I think that the iPhone’s Safari will work fine with it.

I say we wait till the phone comes out and we get our hands on it before we get too mad at the world.

@Claude –

You’re right…but I have a hard time thinking anything different. If he tells us one thing, and it isn’t true…then what does that make?

Does it make a big difference for a developper? There maybe some misunderstanding here. Calling Steve Jobs a lier is a bit provocative, isn’t it?
Calm down Michael. AppleGazette is not a trash media.

I agree with you on the iPhone not having Flash plugin included. Lame. Apple is going to be busy for many months after the phone is release implementing features that should have been available day 1!

Jeremy –

Flash is a installed by DEFAULT on OS X. If it’s the same browser, then it should be the SAME BROWSER. It’s not.

He lied.

Flash is a plugin, it is NOT part of the browser itself. Nobody lied.

Me too. And the solution to create apps for iPhone is not good too!
