Wow. Talk about reality distortion fields. Apparently most readers don't understand the technology very well. Or technology in general for that matter...
The iPhone runs the Safari web browser. In order for the iPhone to use Flash, it would have to use the Flash plug-in which is developed for Desktop and Laptop computers, which the iPhone is obviously not. The iPhone simply doesn't possess the processing power to run the Flash plug-in. What Jobs is basically saying is that there is a product missing that would fall somewhere in between the Flash plug-in and Flash-Lite. Flash-Lite being a seriously scaled down version of Flash made specifically for mobile phones, but not for use within a web browser such as the iPhones.
Why is it that people look deeper into things than they should/need? And the media spins things out of control. Always. Take everything you read with a grain of salt, do some research. I honestly hope that this was posted as some form of sarcasm/joke.
- Rather than tout the shortcomings of Adobe in their lack of catering to a specific device, Jobs should stand behind his entire marketing campaign of the 'whole web on an iphone the way it was meant to be'... instead of 'the whole web, minus the awesome flash part'.Ceballos
