Adobe CEO Confirms Flash Is Coming To iPhone

Boston (dbTechno) - It has been a busy few weeks for Adobe to say the least. In one instance, they were shot down by Apple stating that Flash was not fast enough to run on the iPhone, then in the next instance, Microsoft signed on for Flash Lite to use on Windows Mobile devices. Adobe has now confirmed though that they are working on a version of Flash for the iPhone.

Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen has come out and announced that his company is developing a version of Flash to work with the iPhone, stating they will work with Apple to make sure it is up to standards.

The announcement was made during their earnings conference call on Tuesday evening.

It was just about a week ago that Apple CEO Steve Jobs stated that Flash Lite simply was not good enough for the iPhone.

Nayayen stated “we want to work with Apple to bring that capability (Flash) to the device.”

On top of this major announcement, Adobe reported a strong first quarter, beating estimates with a revenue of $890.4 million, up 37% in the same quarter a year ago.
