i have a bog standard 3g iphone not the new 3gs thing, so was asking if this has flash support
Nothing that runs the iPhone OS has flash support, and is never likely to get it either.
Steve Jobs hates flash with a passion, he reckons that when a Mac crashes, it's usually to do with Flash. He's also a massive proponent of HTML5, which in theory, could replace flash (at least for streaming media purposes)
In addition, two clauses in the EULA for the iPhone dev kit prevent Adobe just going and writing it themselves.
“An Application may not itself install or launch other executable code by any means, including without limitation through the use of a plug-in architecture, calling other frameworks, other APIs or otherwise,”
and
“No interpreted code may be downloaded and used in an Application except for code that is interpreted and run by Apple’s Published APIs and built-in interpreter(s).”
So unless Adobe partner direct with Apple, Flash will never (officially) happen on the iPhone (or by extension the iPod touch or the iPad).
