Flash Magazine confirmed with Adobe Systems' senior director of engineering, Paul Betlem, that Flash was coming to the handset. However, Betlem said that "Apple calls the shots as to when it'll be available".

In mid-June, Adobe's CEO said that company already had Flash running on an iPhone emulator (which could be the same emulator included with Apple's iPhone software development kit).

Flash performance and usage has so far been abysmal on current mobile devices that support playback.

Mobile device processors haven't been fast enough to handle most Flash-laden sites. Flash Lite, the scaled down standard designed specifically for mobile devices, has even too much for most devices, and isn't widely used.
