Why don’t you fucktards stop your pissing and moaning about the iPhone? No one is forcing you to use it nor are they forcing you to read any articles relating to it.

We, deaf people, need this so we can watch our “voice mail” in American Sign Language. Flash = Accessibility for deaf people.

Apple is playing this very business like (and toolish) They know that they only have x amount of features they can put into this phone. If they throw them all out right now then noone will ever upgrade. Expect to see advancements trickle out every 6 months or so to keep people coming back. They did the same thing with the ipod and it still doesn’t have half the feature set of most of it’s competition.

@Likeabite You’re kidding, right? I’ve posted about things like Flash’s Dashboard (open to all Flash and Flash Lite developers) and the good news about Verizon opening up to all CDMA handsets and going contract-free.

yeah like adobe is open.

this all depends on apple then, well hasn’t it always been this way? Apple could have used the earlier version of the flash mobile / lite whatever but they said no, we need to hear from apple to get our hopes up.

Thanks for noting that 1jaxstate1…if this was a Verizon post the very idea of it being “closed” would have BGR blasting and condemning it from ear to ear. Apple is dictating everything about this flash developing and might not even work to its full capacity and there is no critism. But alas, it is an Iphone post thus the kneepads come out and whole staff gets to work lol

LOL, I love how they take a shot at Apple, but pointing out how closed the iPhone is.

good news for iphone lovers. Question, how much more data will an iphone running flash use??

Correction: They need to get the *latest* version of Flash to work on the Wii (currently only works with content up to Flash version 7).

Good news for those with an iPhone. Now if Adobe/Opera/Nintendo could just get Flash support for the Wii browser!

@Terry We’re hoping they do, too… sooner rather than later!

Thanks again.

@BGR: Your Welcome!

I am hoping Apple embraces this.

Depends on the flexibility they give developers. If it truely is open source then I would have to believe flash support is inevitable.

hmmm so will that mean that hulu type support can be close in the future?

@TareX one would have to assume, or is it hope?

If the G1 is as open source as it claims, we should expect flash on the G1 browser even sooner.

1st!
