Flash in iPhone?

The iPhone browser is in the limelight again with regards to its Flash support. This came after an interview with Shantanu Narayen. The Adobe chief said his company is still trying to develop a version of Flash software for the iPhone, and it is for Adobe to do so.

Even before the iPhone officially launched speculation about whether the implementation of Adobe’s Flash multimedia software system, which is immensely popular with other phones, will be incorporated with the iPhone web browser. Steve Jobs, Apple CEO, had said before that Flash is not yet ready for the iPhone. But even then, Adobe had expessed its intention to have Flash in the mobile.

The problem arose again after a little feedback from Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen, who was interviewed last week in a Bloomberg Television during the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. According to Narayen, it has been challenging to build a Flash version for the iPhone and the task is mostly for Adobe to find a solution.

It is unclear whether Adobe is working closely with Apple, or just as a third party application developer, although Narayen once noted that Adobe is still interested in working with Apple so that Flash can be made available to the iPhone. In any case, fully integrated support for Flash for the iPhone OS may not still be realized in the near future.

Most people think that Flash is usually used for video streaming, it is more than that. Though it is part of what the Flash technology does, it is a more than a video driver.
