Blocked Calls: Adobe Building Flash Support for iPhone? For Real this Time. Honest. We Swear. Cross Our Hearts
The Flash drama continues, with more twists and turns than a California highway. It looks as though iPhone may be getting native Flash support after all, if dragged kicking and screaming. Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen spoke to reporters during a conference call...
"Well, you really believe that Flash is synonymous with the Internet, and frankly, anybody who wants to browse the Web and experience the Web's glory really needs Flash support. We were very excited about the announcement from Windows Mobile--adoption of Flash on their devices--and the fact that we've shipped 0.5 billion devices now, non-PC devices. So we are also committed to bringing the Flash experience to the iPhone, and we will work with Apple. We've evaluated the SDK. We can now start to develop the Flash player ourselves, and we think it benefits our joint customers. So we want to work with Apple to bring that capability to the device."
Do let's pretend that Steve Jobs earlier comments were some kind of smokescreen intended to mask Apple's true motives, while backdoor negotiations with Adobe unfolded. That makes sense, doesn't it? No, I didn't think so either.

It would be great but I don't think there going to do this or they wouldn't have released the YouTube client. « Its quite apparent that was a workaround. Steve Jobs better quit denying the most important and vital gateways to the TRUE Internet. Besides isn't that what the iPhone is supposed to represent?
