iPhone Lover

Coming out of WWDC are reports that Apple has officially admitted that the Apple iPhone will not support Adobe’s Flash plug-in in Safari.

Flash support has been a long unanswered question about the Apple iPhone. Steve Jobs had made comments early on that we might see Flash in iPhone according to David Pogue

Markoff: “Flash [in the iPhone]?”
Jobs: “Well, you might see that.”
Of note, Jobs did say that Youtube support would be in the iPhone… but by sidestepping Flash altogether:

Jobs: “Yeah, YouTube—of course. But you don’t need to have Flash to show YouTube. All you need to do is deal with YouTube. And plus, we could get ‘em to up their video resolution at the same time, by using h.264 instead of the old codec.”

This portion of Jobs’ plan came true with the Youtube addon for Apple TV which will require Youtube to convert their catalog of videos into the h.264 format.
