Does the iPhone support Flash?

No. The iPhone does not support flash.

Apple has been clear, up until this point, that they do not intend to support Flash on the iPhone. Adobe announced its own plans to support Flash on the iPhone when the iPhone SDK was released, but was forced to repeal their own comments when they discovered the SDK did not provide enough access to the iPhone OS "innards" to provide such support.

Future generations of the iPhone may support Flash, but for now, the answer is no.


I really hope it will support flash games and applications ina way that it's possible to "install" them. Not just flash ads on webpages.

It either supports Flash or the iPhone TV ads are fake. If you watch the one where they browse to the New York Times site, they show the video player on the home page which is written in Flash. Of course they may have just done some Final Cut Pro Magic to get that all edited together.

There is only ONE word that best describes whether there is Flash support - "Inevitable"

YouTube -- iPhone plays content from YouTube, that is all Flash, I had thought.

Why wouldn't they support Flash? Only to push QuickTime? That would be really dumb -- and bad karma.

I believe that Apple will announce they will buy Adobe.... Sooner ar later this will happen......

Now that'd be something.
