Yes, No, possibly: Will there ever be Flash on the iPhone?

There is one big question that has had Adobe working around the clock , will there ever be flash in the iPhone?

During Adobe’s Q2 earnings shout Monday, chief Shantanu Narayen said that Adobe had tackled some of the technical challenges to getting Flash to work on the iPhone:

We have a version that’s working on the emulation. that is still on the computer and you know, we have to continue to move it from a pop quiz environment onto the device and continue to form it work. So we are pleased with the internal progress that we’ve made to instance.

The next hurdle will be convincing Apple’s boss, Steve Jobs, that that mobile version of Flash will be dominant decent for the iPhone, which hes been skeptical of in the past.

Even whether Adobe

aces Flash for the iPhone and makes it the most efficient version of its plugin ever, the business part of the process could hold things up for a while longer.

The iPhone has a huge future ahead of it, and all I can say is I certain hope Adobe is a part of that. Integrating Flash into the iPhone would be a revolution we have yet to see, but doing so would signal for a much stronger business relationship with Adobe than Apple has with any of its other partners. The simplest way to go about it would be to incorporate Flash right into the Safari browser on the iPhone. Will that be done? possibly, but for now we’ll settle for a 3G network and GPS.
