Apple iPhone and Flash

With Apple's announcements yesterday of the new iPhone, I did not hear anything about Flash. Mr. Jobs did say that the iPhone uses a version of Mac OS X. I do not know how similar this is to the desktop version of Mac OS X, but I am curious if it will use Flash or Flash Lite.

I have been building some Flex based applications lately, and it would be nice if there was a way to run these applications on the iPhone.

ken's Gravatar I have been searching high and low to find out more info on this myself and while most seem to think that flash will be included, no one seems to be able to verify it one way or the other. I wonder why, this seems to be a pretty straight forward question I would think.

haleOnEarth's Gravatar With Adobe's blatant neglect of the MacWorld over recent years, I wouldn't be surprised if Apple didn't give any creedence to Flash whatsoever. As a Macromedia (now Adobe developer), I've been urging Adobe for years to stop treating Mac-based developers like second class citizens because although their numbers may be smaller, they often lead the innovatiion charge. Flex Builder 2 for Mac OS X is still in beta; waiting a year to begin dealing out Universal Binary's has been utterly pathetic, and even now Adobe UB's are limited and beta; this resurgence of Premiere is nothing but a too little too late vain attempt. So will Apple put a lot of time and attention into incorporating Flash into it's phone? I wouldn't hold my breath. We Flash Platform developers are simply going to have to wait for other phone manufacturer's to come out with their cheaper "me-too" clone-jobs which will most definitely provide a much uglier user experience. This is one of the aspects of the Adobe/Macromedia aquisition that has bothered me most and has really led some of us to struggle with our decision to continue to utilize Macromedia solutions. I hope Adobe decides to get it's act together on this matter very soon.
