Adobe, Apple Collaborating on Flash for the iPhone
No Thanks
Although for sites like Hulu (would it REALLY work even? be honest), it'd be nice, Flash is kind of a PITA. Flash Lite for WinMo is a joke as all it does is load ads and slow your already anemic handheld down to a useless state.
It's a CPU hog to boot. On my laptop (which is getting old admittedly) I can play back VGA resolution MPEG 4 video just fine, but when it's that f**ing Flash crap, it's going to max out my CPU.
On top of that, ever tried to actually just browse a site loaded with Flash ads? There are actually some sites I prefer to go to on my iPhone vs. my regular browser simply because Flash causes a slow, annoying (those smiley ads and lowermybills ads) , and for the most part useless.

OK, so Flash might slow down your browser, but what about Javascript? I've caused an iPhone to crap its processor on a website that is a Javascript hog. I might as well skip the website on a lighter phone like my LG Dare!

iPhone not fast enough? :O
The iPhone is running a 700 MHz processor, and it's not fast enough? Flash Player has really bloated out in recent years. I can't imagine running flash on an iMac G3, the 333 MHz processor probably would rather die than run it!
Microsoft does it on the windows mobile and i think iphones processor is faster, maybe apple could figure it out. I think it would take a compleate re design of there web browser like blackberry, or palm, skyfire browser or bolt browser

The iphone has a 667mhz cpu, but it runs at an equivalent of 413mhz. I believe there is supposed to be a new software version coming out that should boost it to 533. There has been a heat issue that prevents full output potential for the iphone.
