Now I have done my level best to stay out of the Flash on iPhone discussion because frankly, even though it's a great device and will do a lot from the point of view of pushing innovation (which is very important), I don't spend a lot of time at night thinking about how to address a device that only has 10 million units in the world - not when Nokia sell that many FL enabled devices a month (give or take - you know what I mean).
Anyway, news has hit the wires that Shantanu (Adobe CEO) has told investors an iPhone specific port of the Flash player is being developed using the iPhone SDK, and would be available as a standalone player on the device.
If it's a standalone player, doesn't this miss the point of a poor web-browsing experience through the browser? I'm sure I'm thinking of too many issues here before seeing the final implementation of this version of the player - and this is why I've resisted commenting on this whole area before, because details have been only rumours that have no real foundation in fact. So why comment now? I don't know, slow news day perhaps?
