I would also like to play Hulu from Safari . If Flash isn’t allowed so I can get my full on web browsing , I will be leaving the iPhone for a phone that does support it . I love my iPhone and do not want to do it but if it isn’t doing the things I want to do on it , then sometimes you just have to let go .

Remember the days when you had to be a “guru” just to get flash to connect to a database? If the hardware can handle it, I say let it in. I for one wouldn’t mind being able to take advantage if the software as a platform for game design.

Try the free app titled AOL Radio. It’s got TONS of radio stations, including lots of locals. It’s probably my favorite app to-date.

It’s supposed to be this über do all device… Without something as simple as flash, I can’t use my banks website, use local news station websites for sports updates and such, no “real” YouTube, ( the ones on the iPhone are a select few that have been converted) no streaming video, no streaming audio ( for my local radio station, cause my uber iPhone ahem.. Doesn’t have fm radio. Oh yea, no conection to some of my online community stuff( it’s in flash too). Out of all the things I wish it had, is flash. Now before the flaming begins, I am not some super user or rocket scientist or anything, but I am an average joe just like probably 90% of the iPhone users who would like apple to put aside whatever silly isues it has with simple pleasures like flash, mms, fm tuner, sterio blutoothe. I understand some of those would be a hardware issue, but flash would just be a simple update, it would really up the awesomeness , make a lot of current customers happy, probaly encourage many new ones.

I can’t even view the latest headlines at BaltimoreRavens.com (or any other NFL team page) on my iPhone.

IMHO, Adobe and Apple need to agree that the distribution model for iPhone apps built in flex needs to be through the AppStore -or- purely browser based.
