Flash Would suck the iPhone’s battery!?

Today I have read a article about the Flash on iPhone, as we know, iPhone is not support Flash now, the article shows that why iPhone is not support Flash all the time, the author said:

About six months ago, a friend who was working closely along side adobe’s flash application development team told me that they received a prototype of Flash for iPhone. The prototype allowed the iPhone to have less than half an hour of battery life using flash. They then sent the prototype to apple and suggested incorporating this prototype iPhone flash into the iPhone OS in the next update.

Apparently apple sent this letter back thanking them for being interested in developing a working version of flash for the iphone but because the prototype is so processor intensive, and awful for battery life, they would not include it with their OS because it is just not good enough. They suggested using the gpu instead of the processor to render flash. Then they suggested building a seperate app for flash and web browsing because there was no way apple could endorse flash integration on the iphone in its current state.

Adobe apparently didn’t want to release the app under their name either and it never showed up in the app store.

iPhone will support Flash in the future

Last week Adobe and Apple announced they were working together on making iPhone support Flash.

Adobe Systems Inc. faces a challenge in creating a version of its Flash video software for Apple Inc.’s iPhone, Chief Executive Officer Shantanu Narayen said.

"It’s a hard technical challenge, and that’s part of the reason Apple and Adobe are collaborating," Narayen said today in a Bloomberg Television interview from the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. "The ball is in our court. The onus is on us to deliver."

Adobe’s Flash, used to view online video and animation, is installed on 98 percent of the world’s personal computers. While the software is on more than 800 million handsets, it isn’t available on the iPhone. Apple CEO Steve Jobs said last March that Flash runs too slowly for the iPhone, and a slimmed-down version, called Flash Lite, "isn’t capable enough to be used with the Web."

Although the technical is hard, Adobe and Apple is the best company in the world, I believe iPhone will support Flash in the future.
