Flash in iPhone, finally
Apart from all great features and stunning design, one thing iPhone surely lack is support for Flash. There is a built-in application in iPhone 3G to play videos from Youtube but apart from this application, users are deprived of accessing any other web or desktop application powered with Flash. Adobe Flash is no doubt one of the best platform for delivering content rich & interactive web(as well desktop) applications. Now, a good news for iPhone users is that Apple and Adobe are working together to enable iPhones for Flash technology. According to Bloomberg:
Adobe Systems Inc. faces a challenge in creating a version of its Flash video software for Apple Inc.’s iPhone, Chief Executive Officer Shantanu Narayen said.
“It’s a hard technical challenge, and that’s part of the reason Apple and Adobe are collaborating,” Narayen said today in a Bloomberg Television interview from the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. “The ball is in our court. The onus is on us to deliver.”
Though Adobe CEO points to difficulties faced by Adobe in this regard but one can hope that we will be using Flash enabled iPhones shortly. I wonder if this update is not bounded to next version of iPhone.
