We all know, how every iPhone user browsing experience gets ruined with no flash support, as most of the popular sites use flash to show content in one way or the another. There were rumors that Adobe is preparing a flash support for iPhone. But Apple accepting the Adobe Flash into iPhone seems unlikely. Wired.com carried out a pretty well written article on that topic, giving out reasons why Apple may be apprehensive about accepting the Adobe’s offer.
Some excerpt from the article :
Allowing Flash — which is a development platform of its own — would just be too dangerous for Apple, a company that enjoys exerting total dominance over its hardware and the software that runs on it. Flash has evolved from being a mere animation player into a multimedia platform capable of running applications of its own. That means Flash would open a new door for application developers to get their software onto the iPhone: Just code them in Flash and put them on a web page. In so doing, Flash would divert business from the App Store, as well as enable publishers to distribute music, videos and movies that could compete with the iTunes Store.
Well all the points jotted down in the article seems pretty real, and unfortunately iPhone will never see the light of Flash support until and unless Apple take some big steps.
