It was reported by FreeMacBlog, that it looked like it would be awhile before Flash support would reach the iPhone. It looks as though this report could turn out to be wrong. In our defense, even Jobs said he didn’t know when Flash support would be available.

It looks as though, the wait wont be as long as originally anticipated. Anyone who has been anxiously waiting for Flash support, can thank the SDK for the good news. Adobe has announced that it plans to use the SDK to make a Flash client for the iPhone.

Shantanu Narayen, CEO of Adobe explains the reasoning behind the decision, “We believe Flash is synonymous with the Internet experience, and we are committed to bringing Flash to the iPhone,” the Adobe head noted. “We have evaluated [the SDK] and we think we can develop an iPhone Flash player ourselves.”

One minor glitch with this setup, is that Flash had to run as an independent program. Apple doesn’t allow third-part programs to run as plug-ins, so Flash is going to have to run separate from the browser.
