Flash Lite meet iPhone, iPhone meet Flash content

While still nothing close to a fully-acceptable Flash-based browsing experience, Thomas Joos has managed to bring Flash Lite to the iPhone. The porting of Flash Lite bodes well for the possibility of having real-deal Flash support on the iPhone in the future - whether Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) will officially support such an undertaking is unclear, perhaps a jailbreak-based Flash solution will pop up?
That’s right, the pared-down Adobe Flash client has been ported over to the iPhone as a native application, making it possible to interact with Flash-based webpage elements. And, quite interestingly, Joos’s motivation for bringing Flash Lite to the iPhone was to make sure his “Rock Werchter Mobile Guide” could reach as large an audience as possible. With many mobile enthusiasts now rocking iPhones, Joos wanted to make sure that the iPhone could view the “Rock Werchter Mobile Guide” Flash-based content.
There were a lot of technical back-and-forths to get Flash Lite working on the iPhone, but rest easy knowing that the native Flash Lite client passes code through eyeGT for rendering.
