Other than the copy & paste feature, Flash on iPhone is another demanding request from iPhone users. Today, Adobe finally shed light on the development of Flash on iPhone in a Bloomberg Television interview from the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Adobe and Apple is now working together to bring Flash to iPhone.
“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. “The ball is in our court. The onus is on us to deliver.”
Well, while Flash is installed on nearly all computers in the world and 800 million handsets, it’s still not available on iPhone. Apple’s Steve Jobs has made a public comment last March that Adobe Flash simply runs too slow on iPhone. And, the Flash Lite, a trimmed-down version of Flash Player, isn’t capable enough to be used with the Web.
Now, it’s good to see Apple and Adobe cooperate to develop a specialized version of Flash for iPhone. However, there is no confirmation on the release date. Let’s hope we can see the Flash release in iPhone firmware 2.4.

I was under the impression that Flash was _never_ going to be on the iPhone due to the fact that having Flash installed would be a way for people to get games and other apps on the phone without going through the app store.
games r not my point of interest. i like watching the news on my laptop so i got the iphone which i assumed its gonna be the same, unfortuinateley ,im not able to watch those videos on so many site, im kind of dissapointed with iphone coz i realy like it but it doesnt give me all i expected.
