Recently, there were reports saying that one of the limitations of the 3G iPhone is its lack of support for the websites using Flash. However, if you have seen the live coverage of Steve Jobs’ keynote last June 9 (first day of WWDC), you may see an evidence that the smartphone is using the Flash during its demo.

iPhone 3g

When the CEO of Apple Inc. had his keynote address, he conducted a speed test to compare the speed of AT&T3G and the speed of AT&TEDGE. Both of these tests were done on the 3G iPhone. Steve Jobs chose to put the test on the website of National Geographic.

On the current iPhone model that runs on OS 1.1.4, the website of National Geographic where a cheetah’s picture is rendered, a message was displayed saying that the presentation would require a Flash before it works. Therefore the




user must download the Flash player which is for free. On the other hand, the demonstration done on the 3G iPhone (demo was done one the website of National Geographic as well) did not show the message that it requires the user to download a Flash player. So this simply means that the second-generation iPhone supports Flash player. This is simply interesting when most people said that the smartphone does not support Adobe Flash.

However, there are still some speculations that Apple Inc. simply edited the photo shown at the home page of the National Geographic’s website so that the Flash warning would not appear. Let’s see by the time that the 3G iPhone is already out in the market. Be the first one to try the mobile phone in a website that requires Flash and see for yourself whether it does support the format or not.
