iPhone FlashLatest iPhone rumor (yes, I know, another one) is that Flash support for the handset is just around the corner.  According to Gear Live’s sources, rather than the battery life and CPU issues that Apple claimed were the reasons for the iPhone not shipping with Flash support, in actual fact it was basic licencing negotiations that prevented the Safari browser from viewing Flash-based animations and videos. 

Gear Live goes on to speculate that Apple will launch the Flash update simultaneously with the SDK becoming available, which Apple has stated will be before the end of February.

    Should read “Gear Live GOES on to speculate that Apple will launch the Flash update simultaneously with the SDK becoming available, which Apple HAS stated will be before the end of February.”

    Gear Live is a single entity. Apple is a single entity. They require the SINGULAR form of verbs, not the plural.
    Try taking an English class one of these days. You need it.

    Thanks Umberto! I shall think of you when I next see an English course advertised.

    You’re not Umberto Eco, are you?
