Flash on the iPhone, Adobe responds.

[Eso]

Apple worked with adobe to get Adobe's new "MX" (or whatever you call it) software that now compiles Flash applications into the native iphone format to be submitted to the app store.

I don't like the sound of this.

It probably creates the code in a parallel fashion as WYSIWUG web page page builders (a la MS Frontpage) create the HTML - bloated, disorganized, terribly. Even worse is I could see this become a popular method of building apps - as if there weren't enough apps in the app store that look like some high school senior's AP Computer Science final project already.

I've viewed live ESPN Flash content on my iPhone.

That's what all those VNC and RDP apps are good for... if you have a high enough bandwidth connection. Spin the fans on whatever hot heavy hardware is running your RDP/VNC/Citrix/VMWare/LogMeIn session, and stream the remote view to your iPhone.

No, you misunderstand me. I want my ESPN, no high bandwidth connection, no special apps, no Tomfoolery! I want to load the page or the link and watch the game. Period.

I totally agree. I only feel that it's not likely. I'd also like to see OGG and OpenDocument Formats prevail. The general public isn't ready.

The lack of flash support on iphone and the high market share of iphone users is now determining if and how you use flash in web design. This is not free or open either.
