Apple’s iDevices can’t run Flash. Or Steve Jobs doesn’t want his iThings to run Flash for one reason or another. Whatever the reason, is a pretty tired topic. But that doesn’t mean it makes no difference to us. People using iPhones and iPads are missing out on a huge chunk of the web because of their lack of Flash support, and they really don’t care about the reasons Apple gave out. Thankfully, comex, the guy who gave us the Spirit jailbreak, worked on it and created “Frash,” which is basically a version of Flash for Android tweaked for the iPad.
Never mind the Blackberrys, Symbian-based Nokias and Palms; it seems the smartphone world is currently being overrun by either Android-based phones or iPhones. It’s been a back-and-forth over the past year, with the new iPhone 4 set to fight off an army of ‘droids. This could help turn the tide for the bots: Adobe just released Flash 10.1 player on the Android Market for any phone capable of running Android 2.2 (Froyo).
