I must admit that it has been a little frustrating to go to flash embedded websites to see a "won't work" icon on the Safari browser from within my iPhone. I do realize that only about 10% of sites actually use Flash, but it's a cool technology and used a lot for embedded video, not just website wizbang. So content on Facebook or other communual sites are rendered useless on the iPhone.
Well, the boys at Adobe claim to have a working product in the lab but the Apple powers are complaining that the mobile version of Flash may not be powerful enough for the elegant iPhone. Sounds like Apple is power-playing and may either have something cooked up for a more thick client or just stalling until it's mature enough and they can take over Adobe.
Who knows. But in the meantime, I'd like to have a little more content on the iPhone via Flash and let the power plays fight it out behind the scenes.
Thoughts?
