Adobe had an event “Flash On The Beach” in which they made public that they are now developing a flash player for the iPhone. This comes following various statements by Steven Jobs, stating that the current version of flash for the iPhone is not quite good enough.
This Adobe flash may not be seen right away until it is developed to work correctly with the iPhone and Apple determines what apps make it into the App Store. It may not actually be seen in the near future since Flash has the ability to cause CPU overload on computers and on smartphones.
