Wow what a morning to wake up to! Adobe has news all over the place. iPhone is getting the Flash Player! Yeah I said it! Well not me but... They did... Wall Street Journal, Engadget, MacRumors and Bit101. How great is this going to be! Its really very interesting to speculate what they will actually do.

So lets think... Ok we all know that the old VM1 is pretty slow compared to the VM2 engine. And the VM1 engine might not cut it on a handheld device since it already has problems on some of our older desktops. Or even on old G4's for that matter. So how is adobe going to get Flash to operate smooth on the iPhone with the VM1 engine? Cause honestly I don't want old flash content to crash my iphone constantly. But I don't want to missout on about 95% of all the Flash content on the web running on the VM1 player. So will they port a version that runs parts of the VM1 engine for video playback and just use the VM2 engine to keep things lite? Or what's the deal going to be? Iis it going to be something we can run AIR apps in only? Hummzzz. Only time will tell. Oh and the last question is will they make iPhone users pay for the player? I really hope not! I might even boycott that decision by Adobe even though I REALLY wants me some Flash on my iPhone!

Ok then onto some other news from the ol Adobe boys this morning...

Adobe Flash Media Rights Management Server? Do what? Well its a way to protect your FLV's in all Flash platform apps. Which is great for MANY content providers all over the web and now the desktop. It even gives some tracking abilities even if the user has downloaded the video! Wow those statistic guys will go berserk for that! Anyway follow the link for more info. This is going to be very neat though and it will help Flash video out a ton when competing with the Quicktime's and Windows Media Player's. Next does anyone know the price point?
