Macromedia Flash Player for iPhone

Anybody know how to get Safari to download Adobe Macromedia Flash Player on my iPhone so that I can watch TV episodes from the major TV networks such as ABC, CBS, NBC, etc? There are also a lot of other sites that require this player such as XM radio online. Anybody have any news on Apple's intent to incorporate in future updates?

iPhone, Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Hey bcxena,

Flash Player cannot be installed on the iPhone at this time.

You can request features added to the iPhone online here.

There is not a way to get Safari to download this or anything else.

Obviously there is a reason or reasons why Apple didn't incorporate Flash with Safari on the iPhone. No one here knows Apple's intention regarding this with the iPhone and even if someone here is privileged to such information they aren't allowed to say. Apple doesn't release such information in advance.

Thanks for the reply. I do remember that Apply specifically was not going to allow third party applications. Probaly because they want to have a licensing agreement in place. Follow the money I guess.

You're welcome.

Probably a little more is involved than licensing and following the money but it will be interesting to see what is in store over the next year or so.
