Gear Live is reporting that Flash is on it’s way to the iPhone, now one might be inclined to believe them since they did manage to get their hands on an advance copy of 1.1.3 before it came out, but I still don’t buy it. Here’s why.
Hardware capabilities, let’s take a look at the system requirements on Adobe’s website:
Now the iPhone with it’s 624MHz ARM processor may come close, but the iPod touch is certainly out of the question since it’s running a 412MHz ARM processor. Also, I had a Dell Axim x51v a few years back, which had the same clock speed as the iPhone and Flash preformed like crap on that.
If Apple can pull it off, more power to them, but I don’t see it happening prior to the iPhone 2 coming out.
