if it is then that totally sucks!!

no way to know if it's true or not, but flash is software... so it'll be leaked one way or the other.

It will not be "supported" but does not mean it wont work.  Somebody got it running on a G1 (barely), so there is still hope.

The intercept has flash lite!

Why do we need flash when we have browsers that can support flash.

Please try Skyfire Browser or Dolphin HD Browser. These browsers run the videos on their servers and send the output to our phones with needed conversion Flash to HTML5.

Apple is correct. Flash is a proprietary software product owned solely by Adobe and it is not free. Why even bother to use it on web sites? We should all petition to all Web Site developers to start using open standard tools for video.

Flash is not open source software however HTML5, CSS and JavaScript – all open standards are.

All the Video available on web is also available in open H.264 standard and one should not need additional Flash layer to play it.

Flash has worse security record since 2005. Thus, Flash is less reliable and affects phone performance because it is an additional software layer to play videos.

All multimedia chips have a decoder called H.264 (open source) and hence they are able to decode video in chip itself. Whereas, Flash uses a older standard that needed software decoder. Flash software decoder needs more battery (twice). All websites need to re-encode their videos using H.264 for one time. Then there is no need for Flash.

Flash was designed for screens that use Mouse. They were not designed for Touch Screen. Hence, web sites that use Flash need to be rewritten to support Touch Screen. Why not use HTML5, CSS and JavaScript to rewrite instead of Flash?

Adobe wants App Developers to use Adobe for Mobile Devices. This forAces pp Developers to rely of tools and libraries from Adobe. The Developers can not take advantage of features and enhancements done by Phone OS.

Apple has created WebKit - a complete open-source HTML5 rendering engine. All Mobile OS use WebKit in their browsers. WebKit is completely Open and Free.

The hotter your device gets, the higher its power consumption. And one of the major power hogs is Adobe’s Flash, the technology which allows you to watch online videos, play mini-games and more annoyingly animated ads. To increase battery life, turn off Flash animation inside the browser.
