Apple CEO Steve Jobs went on record to warn that the iPhone needs a Flash Player that works like it does on a computer, warning that the Flash Lite Player Adobe develops for mobile phones isn't sufficiently advanced for an iPhone.

I'm wondering exactly what he means by that. I haven't run into many sites with Flash that I can't use on the N800. I block them now for the sake of my battery.

been a long time since this happened, but for once Jobs is right (OMG, I think I see a Flying Pig...and is that an ice cube in you-know-where? ) ...Adobe has really dropped the ball since aquiring Flash into their fold. It has become too big to be transparent, just like Adobe Reader.

The Internet tablets don't use Flash Lite. You're using (well, blocking) what Steve Jobs wants but feels is too slow.

EDIT: Adobe has published a feature comparison of several versions of Flash Lite, Flash SDK, and Flash Player. **Warning: PDF link**

Thanks. I didn't realize we were running full flash.

Yea there needs to be something in between. It really cripples my poor tablet when I get to a flash heavy site (aka designed poorly). Its sad that we rely on flash, but thankfully the mobile devices in 2008 seem to be getting the processors necessary to play with this bloatware.

yeah It's hard talking my clients down from "I want animations and text flying here there and everywhere."

And this helps your customers how?

I build your site, customers can buy from their phones.
I build your site like you 'want' and customers can only buy from their Dual Core Intel machines at work.

client: "oh"

meh, i would rather see flash dropped fully and a w3c standard format for media files set.

Lol, who knows... maybe silverlight is going to be the answer. w3c doesn't have an alternative to flash.

oh yes, lets replace one proprietary system for another. that will be perfect...

well, not replace, compete...
