    Microsoft doesn't make the browser plug in for Linux, they also don't support the latest open web standards in Internet Explorer which was why Google released the Chrome frame plug-in.

    Just like Adobe took ages to release the Flash plug-in for 64bit Linux.

    Enjoy your closed in proprietary standards and keeping the Internet locked into Adobe's and Microsoft's control, I prefer Apple's push for open standards and browsers that don't require plug ins to run multimedia content.

    So you adjust your browser settings by disabling 3rd party cookies from your browser and you think you are protecting your privacy?

    Think again, thanks to Adobe Flash:-

        The previous comment about Steven Jobs wanting to control your iphone is correct. Flash allows people to run arbitrary code for applications straight off the web. This defeats the importance of the app store and potentially hurts apple revenue stream from the app store.

        This is why you'll probably never see flash for iphone, apple are greedy control freaks.

                              Win7RTM, 05 Oct 2009Apple believes that Flash on the iPhone is an obsolete plat... moreAdobe Flash is proprietary, to develop for it you need to BUY software from Adobe, Adobe controls releases for it.

                              Apple along with others (Mozilla, Google, Opera) and others are pushing for open standards so browsers don't need security compromising plug-ins like Adobe Flash (Google "flash cookies").

                              Google even made the Chrome frame plug-in for Internet Explorer to make it more compliant with open standards.

                              Any way it's nice to see that having closed standards still has it's supporters who like being controlled by Adobe, without them in a few years Adobe Flash will be obsolete.

                                Hi! I wonder if it is going to support Symbian UIQ3 platform too... or not(?) That is not clear (yet). As you all know that when it comes to symbian OS it should be considered like two different OS; S60 and UIQ, since they are not supporting each other. If the new flash player does not have UIQ support I wont be surprised. What i cannot understand is; Ok, Nokia bought Symbian and stopped the UIQ project under the scope of competition to other brands, this stroke Sony Ericsson as major invester of UIQ, but why SE could not do anything against this situation and left his customers (P1, P900, M600 etc users) as orphans. Here I am focusing mostly on Flash support. Has Adobe also been bought by Nokia, or Samsung, or HTC (?)... As a conclusion, No more SE products in life, even if they use Windows Mobile or Symbian(!) or whatever as platform in their future products. Looking forward to see Samsung Omnia-II available in the market. Regards...

                                    Anonymous, 05 Oct 2009Seriously, why no flash on the iPhone??? Apple believes that Flash on the iPhone is an obsolete platform and that everything should be encoded into H.264, when in actuality, it is a (more than) standard in browsing for websites. Apple won't be satisfied until they make a product similar to Flash for the iPhone. Microsoft isn't too fond of Adobe being in charge of this field either.

                                    In a nutshell, both companies don't want Flash as the standard. Apple just doesn't want them more.

Dude, how can you ask for that, iphone is not a smartphone, i totally dislike iphone's it doesn't have many functions that have a standart phone. it doesn't record video, doesn't have mms, even bluetooth only has it for headphone, nowadays you can find many cell phones that capacitive touch screen so you can not say that iphone is better in any way. :D
