Therefore apple will never have flash on it's iphone, not as long as Adobe fixes the memory issues. Anyway, that said, I always found it a bit sad that apps couldn't be build with flash, but since there is a solution with the CS5 I think we might be seeing a lot of flash-ported apps.

It does offer that so called 'full browsing experience', supporting Flash 8 and lower. This is, like you suspect, NOT a very large improvement. It makes websites with banners a lot slower and the browser unstable. I have not visited anything online that made me happy to have Flash. The only (slightly) fun thing has been to that I am able to develop some simple stuff to run offline. But anything more than a basic soundboard is usually too laggy to be any fun. So mobile Flash, sure, but only if you have the mobile CPU power to actually support it… As a Mac hater I bought what was the next best thing a few months ago, the Nokia N97.

I do remember saturday's talk, and indeed: It was about (read: exactly) the same as we said then. I just figured I needed to get this out there, and see what others have to say about this :) I can’t remember last year’s talk.

I think it would increase the mobile web experience a lot. Of course that's not the same as a full web experience ( hell no ) but that's a different topic. I also like creating apps in cs5 en have them distrubuted on the iphone and hopefully other smartphones as well, using as3 skills :) ps: happy new year and the best of luck in 2010!
