Well it seems that the long awaited Flash for iPhone will not be coming anytime soon.
Apple CEO Steve Jobs responded to criticisms from Adobe this week explaining why Flash is not available for the iPhone. In a nutshell, Steve posted six reasons why they were not allowing Flash on their mobile devices. One of the main reasons that stood out was that Flash was not compatible for mobile devices. Jobs would go on to say that the new standard "HTML5" would be the future of mobile devices on web browsers. This response comes after Adobe's remarks of backing out on making Adobe Flash for the iPhone.
One reason for Apple's attitude might be to protect their App store from being exposed to free, 3rd party games. In the end iPhone users are left without Flash, a product which is becoming standard in other mobile devices such as the Droid and upcoming phones such as the "Lightning" by Dell.
