Flash on the iPhone?

iPhone users such as myself have been happy with the limited default features of the iPhone since launch.  We have all excitedly awaited firmware releases, hoping for some added or unlocked features that should have been available at launch.  There are still a few annoying features that we have yet to see such as a ‘mark all read’ or ‘delete all’ in our in boxes.  We’ve gotten by with the growing number of webapps available to us.  Of course, if you have unlocked and/or jailbroken your iPhone then you probably are running other apps and maybe an NES emulator of some sort.

There has been a lot of speculation as to what the release of the SDK will bring to iPhone users and it looks as though Flash support has been added to the list.  Of course, this has huge implications such as watching video from other sources other than the built in YouTube app, video podcasts, interactive websites.  Apparently, Flash support  (or lack of) has been more a function of business rather than hardware.  Flash has been one of the missing pieces of having that full fledged desktop browser experience and it looks like we might just be getting very soon.

let’s just keep our fingers crossed for the release of the SDK this month and Flash support alongside ;)
