Flash on iPhone: Ask Apple

After an Adobe Support Engineer was asked when the iPhone and iPod touch would support flash on Mobile Safari, a response concluded that the wrong company was being asked. It doesn’t look like an update with Flash is near, but possibly a member of any of the iPhone dev teams can hack it up.flash on iphone

I personally think that Google bought exclusivity of flash video’s for YouTube on the iPhone, taking away any thoughts of flash for Safari on the iPhone, not allowing you to browse other flash video websites other than YouTube. We’ll have to wait and see how that plays out. There is flash somewhere in the iPhone as it’s running the YouTube app, but not being used for Safari. Hopefully Apple has future updates with the iPhone allowing Flash to run with Safari.

    Part of this post is not true. The iPhone does not use Flash for YouTube, all of the videos were re-rendered to use the H.264 format. That is why you can watch YouTube videos on your iPhone. Sometimes, you will even find some videos that have not been re-rendered yet, as you can see them when browsing YouTube from your computer, but not on your iPhone.
