  Well if they wont I found this great alternative for a redirect for your Iphone version of your websites... this is so cool you insert this into the head of your doc, and if you have flash on your website you just ditch it for your iphone.html version and save it up on the web and away you go..

  <script type="text/javascript">
  if ((navigator.userAgent.indexOf('i... != -1) ||
  (navigator.userAgent.indexOf('iP... != -1)) {
  document.location = "http://yourwebsitehere.com/ipho...
  }
  </script>

  • it actually didn't let me put it in there... its "http:// your website here . c o m / iphone"; } </script>– Iggyboo

  Apple will never allow a Flash Player on their beloved iPhone!

  why are they against it? too much battery suckage or some shit?

  • Because Flash competes against Quicktime Player, yes I am for real, sad but true.– utopian1/5

    pathetic– Rand2/5

    It is long go battle between Apple and Adobe says a friend of mine at Adobe.– utopian3/5

    because quicktime and flash are the same thing.... psh. thats dumb– iCanHazQBN4/5

    Apple wants to dominate the mobile market, the same way Microsoft want to dominate the OS world.– utopian5/5

  who cares about Flash on the iPhone, I'd love that Adobe optimizes their fucking plug-in first on OS X, besides, most pages that use Flash are so intensive/huge they won't work on the iPhone.

  HTML5 is the way.

  Perhaps the new tablet that's coming from Apple is more computer than iPhone and that'll have Safari with plug-ins as Flash, hopefully

  i figured they were against flash because flash can do everything their apps can– and apple wouldn't make money off of it

  Re-routing to an iPhone/iPod Touch is dead-simple. Check these on the iPhone...

  http://www.triplebogey.ca

  http://www.analogue.ca

  All 3 desktop versions are Flash-based, and all re-route to an iPhone-optimized version. Honestly, there ain't no need for "Flash Lite" on the iPhone. What is the point in having a (seriously) crippled version of the Flash Player on these devices? At this point in time, and with what Adobe can offer right now—nothing.

  Build an XHTML/CSS version, and route via basic javascript.
