On the other hand, it seems that the advent of the Flash technology on Apple iPhone is still a sweet dream, but according to Adobe, the problem would be especially on the side of Apple. Indeed, the Cupertino firm argues that Flash is too greedy (CPU) and is not optimized for the ARM11 processor of the iPhone.

The irony in all this is that there are some applications that have an internal browser but have gone on the AppStore, so that does not offer a direct competition to Safari.
However, I can understand for softwares that transforms your iPhone in modem because it comes into conflict with some partnership (and still …), all there, I don’t want… Besides absolutely impose Safari, so good it may be.
