Apple

What on Earth is the point in having a phone for watching videos when it doesnt work with adobe? All the episodes on the net need adobe??

Is there a way around this?

Thanks!!

Apple do not accommodate anything working with flash - some sort of rivalry or something apparently. It's Apple at fault & unfortunately there's nothing anyone can do about it. Maybe write to Apple to complain?

Apple have always said they will never support Adobe flash player on iOS. They claim it has too many bugs, something which i have yet to find in the android version.

My advice, dont  bothyer with an iPhone and get yourself a decent Android handset

Apple don't support flash because Steve jobs could see that flash was a limited technology, flash is now being phased out and replaced with HTML 5 which is supported by all major full and mobile browsers.

even adobe has said they are dropping support for flash actually if you go back steve said it was a battery drainer. It's a has to much fat  on it for macs as what he said & made them crash so get your facts right before you make statments like that. Anyway is it true that with some android phones you cant upgrade to latest software witch is ics. They just look like cheap plastic stack em high sell em cheap. You will be hard pushed to find a better phone than a iphone.

I remember reading something once that if iOS supported flash then you could run apps that were not offically sanctioned by the Apple app store.

I don't know how much truth was in that claim though.

Get an android phone and watch it crash.

The top Android devices really are on par with iPhones, if you say there not you havent used them!

The main difference is Android is a more open system letting you use the device as you wish, iOS is very strealined offering very few options to truely customise your device save for the Apps. Everything is deisgned to keep you within the apple eco-system, if you had Flash you could watch the Videos you mention above (mainly illegal copies of moveis/tv) or play flash games, Wouldnt do the iTunes and App store sales much good would it!?

What you do get with apple however is a really fluid interface that just works.

btw i have an iPhone and an iPad so im no hater, i just know what ive got and why i got it

So use you iPhone as intended and head to the store to BUY your shows!
