Apple to Adobe, Flash video not suitable for iPhone

Thursday, March 6th, 2008

It wasn’t too long again that we pointed out the announcement that Apple’s iPhone would be able to play Flash Video soon.

Well, it seems Apple Computers has done a “180″.

Apple is now asserting that Flash Video is NOT meet Apple’s performance standards for video.

Is this a case of business maneuvering, with Apple simply choosing to not give Adobe an easy in on their iPhone systems?!

Or is there actual merit to these claims? Does Flash video actually have performance problems (that QuickTime itself doesn’t have)?!

It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

iPhone Will Be Able To Play Flash Video Soon

Dan Rayburn tell us that there are rumors that Apple Computer’s iPhone will be able to play Flash Video soon.

How soon is soon? Here’s what Dan said…

The answer is I don’t know for sure, but based upon who told me the info to begin with, I took it to mean this quarter.

Does this mean the iPod will be able to play Flash Video too?

Actually, the one (technical) question I have though is… does this mean that the iPhone will be able to play any Flash SWF files? Or just the FLV files?
