Jobs Talks iPhone Flash, SDK and iPhone Applications
March 5th, 2008
During yesterdays Apple shareholder conference Steve Jobs touched on many subjects that were on the minds of iPhone owners, mainly the SDK, Flash support for the iPhone, and more.
Jobs said “You’ll see a lot of apps out there this summer,” referring to native applications born out of the iPhone software developers’ kit (SDK) due for further discussion at Thursday’s ‘Town Hall’ event.
It’s unclear whether Jobs believes it will take a few months for developers to ramp up application releases for the SDK or whether actually the SDK won’t be available to developers until later this summer. Hopefully all will be revealed on Thursday.
Jobs also touched on the possibility of Flash on iPhone noting that the full-blown version of Flash would perform poorly on the iPhone, whilst Flash Lite isn’t the spirit of the iPhone’s full internet experience. It’s unlikely we’ll see Adobe flash coming to iPhone anytime soon.

The question is whether Apple will look to SVG as an alternative for Flash. SVG is lightweight, open standard, and is already supported by Firefox, Opera, and Safari.
I’ve speculated about this on my blog. I guess will have to wait and see what happens.
