You were saying ...

I love the Iphone but it still won’t play Flash Video.

Yeah, and I'm glad it won't... :-)

YouTube has changed their videos to play the open standard of the MP4 file and that should be what is played for movie files on the Internet. Those work just fine on the websites and with the iPhone. They've got a "YouTube" application on iPhone, too...

But, I suspect that some "others" who complain about Flash actually want an "end run" around how Apple puts applications on the iPhone. These developers want to develop things through Flash and bypass the Apple Store... and that isn't going to happen.

I wouldn't buy into the "Flash" thing as a legitimate complaint for the iPhone. I never did like it on my web browsers and I've got it blocked where I can block it so it won't show up. That makes me so much happier to block Flash... :-)

Too each his own.As a consumer I have the final decision as to what I want to view or listen to on my IPhone,Apple does not.

I went to a site this morning to check out a certain product and unfortunately I was not able to see it in action because it required a flash video player and as previously discussed Apple doesn’t have it.

Of the few plain old web browser issues I encounter, all are Flash related.
