Yesterday was the shareholders meeting for Apple. Many different strategies, and ideas were presented by Jobs and other key figures for Apple. One interesting piece of information was about the iPhone and Flash support for it.

According to Steve Jobs there is no time frame for Flash Support on the iPhone, so anxious iPhone users shouldn’t start holding their breath. Jobs explains that the current Flash application used by cell phones isn’t powerful enough for what the iPhone is capable of. What he wants is Flash that is on par with the likes of what you see on notebooks and desktops.

Jobs explains about the current Flash problem with cell phones, “There’s this missing product in the middle…It just doesn’t exist”

It looks as though Jobs’ strategy is to hold out and hope that Flash will release a specific application for the iPhone. As of now, Adobe hasn’t made any announcements as it pertains to a special iPhone Flash application.

The two companies have butted heads in the past, with Adobe showing Apple the shaft for some of its’ products. While Apple changed some of its’ products to slow down Adobe applications. Let’s hope for the consumer’s sake that they can get past this bitter past and do what’s best for the iPhone users.
