Flash on iPhone?
Jul 12, 2007 Miscellanous
Recent speculation suggests that the Adobe Flash Player plugin would be coming sooner for Apple iPhone’s Safari sooner than we’d thought/dreamed.
I can’t even begin to speculate the amount of possibility this opens up to flash developers. This is perhaps far more revolutionary than WiiFlash! Imagine the touchscreen capability of the Nintendo DS, opening up to the Flash platform, allowing for a whole new slew of creative works for Flash. One thing I’d definitely want to see, if the above does turn out to be true, is a port of Ouendan!.
That aside, though, there will be a number of things to think about. Firstly, public adoption of the iPhone seems rather low at the moment to me, due to price and also network restriction. Not to mention its only only available in the US. The other interesting thing I’d like to see being taken advantaged of would be the iPhone’s Multi-Touch technology. Most “WiiFlash” games that take advantage of the WiiMote are no more than glorified Flash games using the mouse. How would Flash developers be able to take advantage of the different Multi-Touch capabilities?
Although this may never come, its still something worth keeping a tab on.
