Apple Thoughts: Flash on iPhone? Adobe & Apple Are On It.

"Once thought to be building Flash for the iPhone mostly on its own, Adobe has mentioned at the World Economic Forum that it's not only continuing work on the animation plug-in but has teamed up with Apple to make it a reality. In an interview with Bloomberg at the Davos, Switzerland event, Adobe chief Shantanu Narayen describes development as a complicated two-way process rather than maintaining the previous image of a one-sided effort that would depend on App Store approval before it could launch. "It’s a hard technical challenge, and that’s part of the reason Apple and Adobe are collaborating," he says. "The ball is in our court. The onus is on us to deliver.""

To be honest, I want Flash on the iPhone more than I want anything else including copy and paste. I'm seriously happy that Apple has finally awakened to the fact that the modern web really does require Flash and that it's in their best interest in giving it to iPhone users, particularly if you want to claim the iPhone has the best web experience in the phone businesss.
