Flash on the iPhone Would Be Nice, but Not Essential, Brightcove's Jeremy Allaire
Flash for the iPhone would be helpful to developers and programmers, but it's not essential in getting the rich interactivity of Flash on the iPhone, says Jeremy Allaire, one of the principal developers of Flash.
Allaire, who was CTO of Macromedia, the company that developed Flash and was sold to Adobe, is the founder and CEO of video platform services company Brigthcove.
Brightcove recently announced a native iPhone application.
I spoke with Jeremy at the Beet.TV offices earlier this month.
Silverlight Works on iPhone, Report
Adobe has been trying to get Flash on the iPhone for months. A new report says Microsoft is tying to get its new Silverlight software on the popular mobile device too.
Here is our interview about Silverlight with Microsoft's Brian Goldfarb.

Hi guy's,
the biggest news we have heard recently about the iPhone. After facing continuous criticism and months of speculation at last it seems that Flash support would come to the Apple.
I liked the aspect that they did integrated with quicktime player API’s which makes sense for iPhone.Releasing the old fashion way (major updates in batch) is good for established B2B media companies which comprises most of the brightcove companies.Oh so now with 99$ price point, brightcove is trying to gulp the market of other online video platforms!

Hi Guy's,
I'm not disappointed at all. If I want/need flash I'll use a computer. And I've seen flash run on the at&t tilt, and it ran like crap! Flash just isn't made for mobile CPUs.
