Adobe’s president and chief executive officer, Shantanu Narayen, has announced during a press conference that Adobe is making progress in developing a version of its Flash player that would be accepted by Apple to be used on the company’s popular device, iPhone.

According to Brighthand, Mr. Narayen’s response when asked if the company is making progress on the project was that they ‘are working on it. We have a version that's working on the emulation. This is still on the computer and you know, we have to continue to move it from a test environment onto the device and continue to make it work. So we are pleased with the internal progress that we've made to date’.

Previously this year, Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO and man behind the company’s success, has stated that the iPhone is not offering Flash support and that it doesn’t intend to do so in the future. Mr. Jobbs explained his decision stating that the PC-version of the video player is too slow to be used on a mobile device, and that the Lite version, which had been created for the mobile market is working poorly over the internet. Mr. Jobs also said that the main reason for not using Flash is Adobe not making an intermediate version that would suit iPhone’s needs.

Until Adobe will manage to come up with a version of its popular player that Apple would consider to integrate on its mobile devices, the online videos for iPhone should be delivered in a player that supports the MPEG 4 H.264 video standard. YouTube is offering a special section with videos for iPhone.
