Why Apple Won't Allow Adobe Flash on iPhone

But no doubt this little niggle will not stop people from getting iPhones - how do you feel about not having flash on your mobile ?

I have been pretty impressed with flash lite implemented on the last handful of Nokia phones I used.

It makes perfect business sense. I recall seeing an app on Gizmodo which enabled a jailbroken iPhone to run flash.

To get my Nokia to do flash I only had to break open the box and switch it on

well Rouxenator.. and after that you can send me an MMS of the VIDEO you took with your 3.2MP AUTOFOCUS CAMERA while FORWARDING me an SMS with some TEXT THAT YOU COPIED from a FLASH ENABLED WEBSITE! (is that like 99% of the web???)

oh and if you want to see anything any larger you can also just check it out on your widescreen TV with your TV OUT FUNCTION

I own a N95, N95-8GB, N82, E71, and an iPhone. Search my posts and you'll see. How is this relevant to anything, Dummy?

It's really terrible of them.
There's so many ads I miss and bandwith that I could waste on flash.
I really want flash
I'm going throw my iPhone away now
Why don't I have a nokia

well after experiencing all those nokias even a dummy would have had better sense than to brag about the iPhone's SINGLE cool feature.. yes apparently it even beats a rock when you compare the two...

lol

[icyrus]

I very rarely use flash on my computers, why would I want it on my phone?

In fact the only site I probably use flash on is youtube.

Personally I think flash is trash - but apart from that it is trash that my Nokia can do and crapple can't - so it is now bragable trash

Noted, you don't have a 5800 XM.

Well flash games are pretty kewl, but apart from that it is something to use when you point fingers at tuttiFruitis

I only bash trash. The iPhone has good UI - I'll never bash that. But the rest is like flash, its trash. The fact that it does not have flash makes it flashless trash or if you want, trashless trash and that does not even makes sense cause it equates to nothing

With a million times the colour

Don't just yet, you can still type SMS on it (although not copy and paste). So what if it does not ace flash like Symbian does, maybe someday it will be able to multitask like Symbian does Afterall, Symbian is doing the touch UI now that it mastered the rest.
