DespiteSteve ’s “ HELL NO ! ” , Adobe is developing a Flash player for the iPhone . Adobe ’s CEO , Shantanu Narayen suppose to the WSJ that they have measure the software program developer tools and they guess they can develop an iPhone Flash thespian on their own . A Flash player plug - in for Safari , however , would be much more difficult , if not out of the question with the current SDK . But there are other opening , from a development point of view , which could actually be better for iPhone users .

First , perhaps the most unlikely , Apple could supply Adobe with the theoretical account they ask to do a Safari sparking plug - in . Even while Apple does n’t want to modernise or license Flash from Adobe , they could be happy to activate the possibility . It wo n’t be the first time that Apple has given Adobe this kind of special treatment : in the past , the Cupertino company had provided with special code to accomodate the migration of Photoshop into Mac OS X , and one could argue that Flash on the Internet is as significant as Photoshop on the Mac .
The other possibility — which could be closer to realism — is that Flash in the iPhone could be a stand - alone musician , just like Quicktime is now : a actor that could be launched when you select Flash content in Safari . While it may not vocalize complete , as some Flash content works alongside HTML , this will easily put the bulk of Flash mental object in the hands of iPhone substance abuser . And instead of having to work out within the limitation of Safari , the role player will fully enjoy the possibilities of running standpoint - alone , with a consecrate interface , and full access code to the the computer hardware , running at full screen .
This last option will not postulate any major change on Apple ’s part . The acknowledgment of Flash and Shockwave content in pages will be enough , adding a swordplay button over it to launch the player which will grab these resources , being picture or in full interactional software . — Jesús Díaz ] [ WSJ ]
