Flash is evil. Whenever I'm watching Flash videos on OS X or Linux, my CPU usage shoots up to 100% and temperature goes up to 80ºC. Worse still, I have to install several 32-bit libraries if I want to run Flash on 64-bit Linux. The only place Flash works sort-of-okay is Windows. QuickTime can play Flash videos just fine. More importantly, it's not a CPU hog and can actually use your video hardware (AFAIK). If Adobe haven't been able to optimize the Flash Player for plain ol' x86 processors (which is their major market), I don't see how they're going to optimize it for low-power ARM chips that power the iPhone. About the "packager": I suspect they're just going to put your Flash app in a application bundle along with a binary of the Flash Player itself. What makes them think Apple will allow something like this through the App Store approval process? Aside: I was under the impression that Flash is the only crappy app Adobe produce, and the rest of their Creative Suite was solid. Well, a couple of days ago I tried installing Photoshop on my Mac and it refused to install because I had a case-sensitive partition. Needless to say my opinions on Adobe have changed radically.
