That is assumption based on the current status quo and not counting

very accessible in real life.
I would expect other features to be way more important - as iPhone  
user but also early adopter of bunch of linux/windows/palm/nokia/ 
android smartphones as well as great dumb phones that have no  
problem to serve as trunking devices/routers for laptops. Here is  
what I think Flash 10 is destined to do:


Sure, things are certainly going to change. My comment was mainly  
restricted to that of the Palm devices. I don't even own an iPhone  
btw (ATT service quality where I live is abysmal) ... but I do have  
an iPod touch.


3. Integration APIs are really important - exposing bluetooth,  
accelerometers, GPS, camera, photo and multitude of voice codecs  
for input and output and all other standard capabilities.


I definitely agree with that. However, I wouldn't expect any  
integration of Flash technology other than camera/mic for quite a  
long time. Those are very platform specific functionalities that are  
unlikely to make it into Flash in the near term. Those APIs are  
certainly available on devices that have that capability.


3a. I wonder if Adobe can work on simultaneous integration of their  
technologies into supporting platforms the way Apple built their  
business - building ecosystem - either with free or low cost  
licensing of embeddable technology.


Adobe already does embedded licensing but I figure that low cost  
isn't really in the cards most of the time. That's something the  
developer needs to take up with Adobe directly.


Many embedded devices (like your description of a GPS display screen)  
utilize Flash as the primary display model, and Adobe prices their  
licensing for embedded devices based on those types of assumptions.


I really think that GMaps on iPhone are way better then top of the  
line car navigation system based on stale hard drive data. But  
iPhone screen is not usable while driving. On contrary, 7+ car  
display is perfect - but you can't transfer phones display there.  
Perfect application for Adobe display technology.


It's only better because of two things - design and interactivity.  
Blame that on the software developers for the embedded devices. Not  
making excuses, but embedded systems in vehicles have a very unique  
set of human factors issues.


Certainly going to be exciting to see where it goes.

cheers,

Jon

Hope will be soon... Many of us have an iPhone and need Flash Player 10
inside!

Adobe, Apple make it happen!

Thanks

   Any timeline on the iPhone Flash implementation? My boss is an iPhone
 fanatic; the apps we build need to work on that. Thanks.

Hope Apple will see that other phones like this Palm Pre, with features like
FP10, can make the iPhone goes down. there's to much flash out there on the
web and they need to open the doors to all that content. It's a matter of
common sense...

Not if the touch screen and the rest of the UI stink.

The touch screen is, by far, the most important aspect of any smart  
phone, or device (like the ipod touch). There's no other device that  
comes even remotely close in terms of touch screen usability.

Jon,
That is assumption based on the current status quo and not counting Adobe's
and community capabilities and hardware in 15 month from now. Touchscreen is
very questionable in most cases - slow and not very accessible in real
life. I would expect other features to be way more important - as iPhone
user but also early adopter of bunch of linux/windows/palm/nokia/android
smartphones as well as great dumb phones that have no problem to serve as
trunking devices/routers for laptops. Here is what I think Flash 10 is
destined to do:
1. Break application jail - I want build application in the same environment
- now I have to manage 3 guys coding for different platforms ( not counting
Flex)  and have to work in all of them. Single platform to deliver apps not
controlled by apple store profit center is long overdue.
2. Break connectivity jail. I expect voice to be more important then
touchscreen. While iPhone google apps do not work well, Jott does - but lack
of integration and costs of calls are show stoppers for adoption. Flash can
fix that with great mashups.
3. Integration APIs are really important - exposing
bluetooth, accelerometers, GPS, camera, photo and multitude of voice codecs
for input and output and all other standard capabilities.
3a. I wonder if Adobe can work on simultaneous integration of their
technologies into supporting platforms the way Apple built their business -
