Adobe flashplayer???

[Gee8273]

Every time I try to view certain pics or videos it says I need to update my flashplayer but when I try to do ititsays that iPhone restricts the use of the flashplayer etc... Any advice?

The iPhone cannot view flash on the web. Period. There is no app for that. You simply can't view flash enabled sites on an iPhone.

Hopefully in 4.0 Wasnt there a rumor going around that adobe and apple were going to make a pact?

From what I've heard, there are still no plans for a mobile version of Flash. This is why MS is working on a server side solution with Silverlight.

With some of the words thrown around by Adobe recently, I wouldn't expect Apple to come up to them begging for a mobile version. In fact, I'd more expect Adobe to go to Apple asking what they can do to make this happen, but until Flash is less of a resource hog and more stable, I don't see Apple jumping up and down to add something to the iPhone that will degrade general web browsing performance.

Flash may be crap, but you can't view a lot of videos that are posted on many websites, and that's a pain. I wish they'd come up with some sort of solution.

I think Apple should start working on a flash competitor , this would solve all our problems .

I believe html5 is the solution, but everyone has to jump ship from flash.

I believe html5 is the solution, but everyone has to jump ship from flash.

While it is possible, there's no standard ( the standard itself is still being revised )for HTML5 yet, it is a ways off before all browsers and subsequently all web developers go to it.

Unfortunately, flash is usable by a very large base of web browsing population, it will be a while before flash disappears. Adobe just has to make it better is all....which might be asking a lot LOL.

Is there anything that I can do to view the movies and videos? I'm new to this whole thing. Also, I was looking for help on why I can't connect to YouTube on my unlocked iPhone. Any advice? I got some advice yesterday but wasn't sure if it would hurt more than help so I am a bit hesitant.

I just tried out some of the HTML5 demos, I have to say im very impressed. Theyve even said that some will work in mobile safari. So guess well have to wait and see

Flash is the biggest thing missing from this phone. Even more than customizing for non-jailbreakers. I wish it would happen.
