Mossberg talks Adobe Flash on the iPhone

One of the things that many people were bummed out about Safari on the iPhone was the lack of support for Adobe Flash. According to Walt Mossberg, that won't be an issue for long.

While answering his Q&A that he posted on his blog he discussed some of the concerns with the Safari browser at launch. He then tipped us off that Apple was already working on Flash Support.

At launch, the iPhone version of the Safari browser is missing some plug-ins needed for playing common types of Web videos. The most important of these is the plug-in for Adobe’s Flash technology. Apple says it plans to add that plug-in through an early software update, which I am guessing will occur within the next couple of months.

That will certainly bring a new aspect of fun to the iPhone. Perhaps knowing this, developers can begin working on flash-based applications for the coveted phone.
