Walt Mossberg: Apple working on Flash support on iPhone

Apple Insider is reporting that Wall Street Journal’s Walt Mossberg has stated in an online discussion that Apple is indeed working on adding support for Adobe Flash technology on their just launched iPhone mobile device.

Mossberg has been quoted as saying: “At launch, the iPhone version of the Safari browser is missing some plug-ins needed for playing common types of Web videos. The most important of these is the plug-in for Adobe’s Flash technology. Apple says it plans to add that plug-in through an early software update, which I am guessing will occur within the next couple of months.”

The article further reports Mossberg as saying that the phone’s Bluetooth capability does not work with computers but would only support cars and wireless phone handsets.

Mossberg said: “In my two-week test of the iPhone, I succeeded in connecting it without much trouble to the built-in audio system and microphone on a friend’s BMW. Almost instantly, the over 700 contacts I had on my test iPhone were displayed on the car’s dashboard screen and calls could be made and received through the iPhone.”
