Lack of Flash will cause every single iPhone user to dump their Safari-using, browsing-unfriendly device because what's the point of browsing without having Flash enabled. So, you iPhone losers, gloat while you can because Flash is the new background processing that Apple will miss out on. It's true that the iPhone has the highest browser traffic of all smartphones combined and doesn't have Flash, but that's all gonna change. All of you who just bought new iPhones, dump them NOW. Apple has cheated you grieviously by denying you a tremendous 2% of the total internet experience.

Ask anyone on the street how important Flash is to them and they will tell you...."Look buddy, I've already got one on my camera and that's enough for me. Now go away."]]>Jun 22nd 2009 11:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/flash-10-for-smartphone-beta-coming-this-october/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/flash-10-for-smartphone-beta-coming-this-october/Jun 23rd 2009 12:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/flash-10-for-smartphone-beta-coming-this-october/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/flash-10-for-smartphone-beta-coming-this-october/
Welcome to the Dark Side. Muahhahaha]]>Jun 23rd 2009 2:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/flash-10-for-smartphone-beta-coming-this-october/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/flash-10-for-smartphone-beta-coming-this-october/
This, of course, is unbelievable bullshit that demonstrates a complete inability to grasp facts. The reason why Flash is not available on the iPhone is because it absolutely sucks on the Mac OS platform because Adobe are incompetent. On a Core 2 Duo 2.33GHz processor I see the Flash Player taking up about 120% processor time (i.e. 1.2 processor cores) just to play a crappy YouTube video. In contrast, QuickTime uses less to show a full 1080p movie and Microsoft's Silverlight 2 only needs about 80% processor time. If you were to bring this software anywhere near the iPhone then your battery would disappear almost instantly and customers would be complaining.

As and when Adobe can deliver an efficient Flash Player for the Mac platform then I am 100% certain that it will be provided on the iPhone. Frankly, I rather hope the World Wide Web can standardise on HTML 5 and then we won't need Flash - wouldn't that be wonderful?]]>Jun 23rd 2009 3:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/flash-10-for-smartphone-beta-coming-this-october/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/flash-10-for-smartphone-beta-coming-this-october/Jun 23rd 2009 4:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/flash-10-for-smartphone-beta-coming-this-october/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/flash-10-for-smartphone-beta-coming-this-october/
"The reason why Flash is not available on the iPhone is because it absolutely sucks on the Mac OS platform because Adobe are incompetent."

How is Adobe incompetent when Flash runs reasonably well on Symbian platform with 2 or more times slower hardware? ]]>Jun 23rd 2009 5:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/flash-10-for-smartphone-beta-coming-this-october/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/flash-10-for-smartphone-beta-coming-this-october/
I am sorry - did you miss the part of my post where I noted that not only does QuickTime play full HD movies using less processor time than Flash does for a crappy YouTube video, but Silverlight wipes the floor with it? And you ask why this is Adobe's fault? Clue: Adobe writes the Flash Player software so they are responsible for its performance.]]>Jun 23rd 2009 4:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/flash-10-for-smartphone-beta-coming-this-october/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/flash-10-for-smartphone-beta-coming-this-october/Jun 22nd 2009 6:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/flash-10-for-smartphone-beta-coming-this-october/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/flash-10-for-smartphone-beta-coming-this-october/

He said that he wanted Adobe to make something that was light weight and performed better then the mobile version. So, this looks like Jobs got what he was after. I'm usually not to big into speculation, due to I hate ever being wrong, but I can guarantee you that the smartphone flash will be on the iPhone in October.

OH GIVE ME A BREAK! Your Apple fan-boyism is so obvious it's making you look like a clown. I know you're well known here as the Apple fanboy but I don't normally buy into that but this statement just makes me laugh and cringe at the same time.

Are you honestly telling me that if the iPhone 3G S were announced with "Flash 10" support you wouldn't be all over these comment sections bragging and shouting about the fact that your precious iPhone just got better and "beat" all other phones? Really, look deep inside yourself and try to come to an honest answer. Can you do it?

Look man, I'm a big Apple fan (typing this on my beautiful 17" MacBook Pro) but your completely blind fan-boyism is just getting ridiculous. If you want to be taken seriously (and maybe you don't), try and be honest with yourself and everyone else.

Paul has a point, if the iPhone had flash I would leave it off so I could save my battery and so pages could load at a 1/2 way decent pace. I mean flash would be great but What would I use it for? you cant play internet games from a touch screen phone anyways, there are apps to stream music, my iPhone has a video player built into it along with apps for streaming video, i dont see why the iPhone needs flash till science can create a battery that can support the needs of a device streaming flash online.

Yeah, I have to admit, I WOULD brag about it, but just to annoy the heck out of the Apple Haters. It might surprise you to hear, but I also didn't want Voice Dial and Video on the iPhone. I find both of those features kind of useless. I've used the video on my flip phone exactly once, to record an OSHA violation at work, but other than that, I have never understood the need for low resolution cell video.

I guess it comes in handy when the cops are beating people or choking paramedics. My current flip phone has everything I want or need, but I'm holding out to see what's offered with the iPod touch in September. I would rather keep my little flip phone for calls. I would probably drop an iPhone and break it in a week.

I also would like to remind everyone that I DON'T own an iPhone and that I have two Macs and 3 old PCs. I know it won't matter to most of you, especially the Apple Haters. The Apple Haters can't dispute the factual information I present in my arguments, so they either resort to calling me a Fanboy or a Troll, hoping that people don't listen to my message. That won't stop me.
