Flash Ported To iOS and iPhone 4

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the pay-attention-apple dept.

An anonymous reader noted that there is a simple HOWTO explaining how to install flash on an iPhone4. Mad props for using Strong Bad as the demo. Of course, step one is to use the JailBreakMe. Once installed, Flash inside Safari loads in a stopped state so it won't even hurt performance unless you decide to actually execute the program.

    Oh!
    Oh I like that!
    Oh yeah!
    Come to the place where the tropical breezes blow
    Come to the coolest place I know
    The people are so great
    But really there's only me
    And that means I'm so great
    And also there's The Cheat
    Oh there's The Cheat!
    The place where the tropical breezes blow
    The Cheat!
    In the coolest place I know
    The one's are always cold
    And parties last all night
    And probably lots of chocolate
    And population tire
    POPULATION TIREEEE!!!

    Based on the way Apple has talked about flash, I guess people's iPhones are just going to explode.

    Yes, if you jailbreak the phone, its antenna stops working.

    No, you're just jailbreaking it wrong... try the right hand...

  5. Who needs flash? iPhone users dont! by Servaas · · Score: 2, Funny

    I have yet to find a single iPhone user who needs / wants flash, why are these people actually trying to make it work? Flash is a battery drain, awkward UI, etc etc. Why would anyone want to run it on an iPhone?

    Only 0.5% of users have complained about this security risk - therefore, it's really no problem.
