Flash finally coming to iPhone?

Adobe’s CEO Shantanu Narayen was feeling pretty talkative and finally let the official cat out of the bag by saying that both Adobe and Apple are working together to make Flash a reality for the iPhone platform.

I wonder if this will only be featured on the next incarnation of the iPhone, I'm sure it would be another selling point.

Sorry if this is a repost, it's news to me!

Probably will be on the next generation of Iphones. But if it was to work on both 2g and 3g iphone then would be very pleased.

Good: Flash as a container for streaming audio / video.
Bad: Flash for virtually anything else.
GTFO: Websites made entirely in Flash.

Pretty narrow-minded attitude tbh.

I lol'd

(At wush's response, you need to lighten up

)

Flash would be nice on the iPhone.. However i can't help but think Safari would just crash even more. If it can't load up a webpage with a load of photos on it, how is it going to manage flash?

I don't think durzel needs to lighten up

However it nreeds to be easily Turned off/on within safari

Not having flash avoids a lot of ads, if they come out with this there will be a need for an ad-blocker.
