As Adobe surreptitiously update their Flash player with a new beta supporting bandwidth-friendly codec H.264 and Apple-handy AAC audio format, whisperings begin to fizzle that, while there's still no official word on an iPhone generic Flash player, Adobe might have something lurking in the wings (or, more likely, on the engineering test bench).
Currently the iPhone will only play YouTube videos through the dedicated application Apple provide rather than via the YouTube site in mobileSafari; furthermore, only videos re-processed by YouTube using the H.264 codec can be viewed. This move by Adobe to support and promote standards already adopted by Apple - both in the iPhone and the AppleTV streamer - may be the first step to a full Flash player on the cellphone itself.

super
well I expected flash on launch day for the iphone but of course it wasn’t. If we can get it now I hope they put a rush on it because I never realized how boring the Internet would be without flash. Hurry up Adobe!!!!
I second Mike’s comment
