Flash was an “internet standard”???
Adobe claimed that it could have gotten Flash working on the original iPhone in 2007 if Apple had allowed it.
When Flash did finally come to mobile in 2010, it required 1GB of RAM and a 1Ghz CPU on Android and then it barely worked and wrecked hell on the battery.
The original iPhone came with 128MB of RAM and a 400 MHz CPU. An iPhone with those specs didn’t come out until 2011.

I had flash 5 running just fine on my 2004 palm with 32MB of RAM and a 312 MHz CPU. This also would have been Macromedia though and not Adobe, not sure how many of the original developers they kept.
- scarface_74 3y agoThat wasn’t full desktop Flash. That was a very lite version that wasn’t compatible with what was then the latest version. Do you really think that Adobe could have optimized Flash to support hardware that had eight times less RAM and was half as fast four years earlier?
