I cannot even view the Apple ads on my iPhone! I went to the Apple web site to show a friend the old (and new) ads that prompted the Microsoft "I am a PC" ads. But I could not show them to her! Is there something I'm missing - I am on 2.1 firmware?
This is what I see:

It would appear that it wants to view it in quicktime. Ive never tried that, so I wonder....
I got a popup when I hit play on the player, and it stated it was unplayable due to the format. Is there a quicktime plugin for the phone ?

[mbaharvard]

Imagine that, though, from Apple - you cannot play their website content on an iPhone - again, unless there is something I am missing! I have fresh 2.1 install, setup as a new iPhone and then jailbroken...

Im really suprised they didnt include a quick time player of sorts, or used an iphone friendly stream, i.e. youtube or something. Ill dig into this, surely they didnt miss that.

meh, for me flash would just make webpages load more slowly. I guess for some trying to watch videos/play games/listen to music online it might help, but for each of those things you still have: Youtube app, iPod/thousands of app store games + Cydia games + ZodTTD emulators/iPod, Pandora, Last.fm, etc.
Dunno, personally I haven't found a single time where I was browsing with my iPhone and I found myself saying 'Damn, if only I could get flash on this thing!'

most mobile phones do not have very speedy processors, Flash may seriously bog down the iPhone’s performance....

Adobe "IS" flash. They had flash before the iPhone, they had it FOR the iPhone. Apple shut them down the first time they tried to release it. Now Adobe is waiting for Apple to tell them when they can release THEIR program. It's absolutely ludicrous.

i doubt it, but maybe apple is just stubborn


if this happened im sure the app store would lose a small amount of business in the gaming section,

I just paid $25 for Jaadu VNC just so I could read Marvel Digital Comics in Flash. I'm a big believer in Murphy's Law, so I figure this'll be out any day now.

would be sweet but knowing apple I'm not getting my hopes up

@Cash, yes I did click the links...
@mbabarvard, that is strange QuickTime works for me on my phone. I guess you just can't run apple ads using QuickTime on an iPhone for some reason.

[XChrisX]

QuickTime definitely works on the iPhone but flash would also be sweet.

[MyStur]

Yehhh. Adobe? Why took them so long. And nothing. Is there a guy or woman they can program flash to play on iphone?

They will pay for that.

[mbaharvard]

I still get the same thing on the iPhone and I still find it quite odd!

It doesn't matter which format you try - none of them work...

[Sparblaze]

mbaharvard,
The iPhone doesn't support the Apple Ad's format. It won't work.
