After an Adobe Support Engineer was asked when the iPhone and iPod touch would support flash on Mobile Safari, a response concluded that the wrong company was being asked. It doesn’t look like an update with Flash is near, but possibly a member of any of the iPhone dev teams can hack it up.

I personally think that Google bought exclusivity of flash video’s for YouTube on the iPhone, taking away any thoughts of flash

for Safari on the iPhone, not allowing you to browse other flash video websites other than YouTube. We’ll have to wait and see how that plays out. There is flash somewhere in the iPhone as it’s running the YouTube app, but not being used for Safari. Hopefully Apple has future updates with the iPhone allowing Flash to run with Safari.
