    Adobe ready to release a version of Flash for iPhone

    Talkin 'about for several months, developing an iPhone version of Adobe Flash player is indeed a reality. According to Paul Betlem, director of engineering at Adobe, a team is currently assigned to this task: it would certainly that the green light to see that this technology widely used on the Web, or incorporated into the iPhone and the iPod Touch. No technical obstacle would not therefore address the implementation of Flash on the iPhone. Betlem recalled, however, in an intervention conducted at the conference Flash On The Beach (FOTB) that the iPhone was a closed platform. One way to suggest that Apple may not be ready to change its tune?

    Officially, Apple prohibits developers of applications for the iPhone design application environments that would replace its system or its own software, and has so far not intended to allow the development of plug-ins for their browser Safari Mobile.

The company defended this choice by explaining that, it retains control of the mobile environment of the iPhone, and protects it flaws or decreases performance that could lead to the use of third-party technologies.

    I hope that Flash will be authorized by Apple and it will not spend anything illegal! I also hope it can play FLV and that quicktime. Personally I see no advantage of Quicktime compared to other popular formats (AVI, MKV, mpg, RMV, WMV).
