iPhone versus Windows Mobile catfight : Flash in Internet browser December 01, 2008 [General] | By Edward J. R. In a series of video reviews we will present comparison of latest iPhone (ROM version 2.2) with latest Windows Mobile (6.1) in various specific areas. Of course one could describe such comparison textually but seeing video changes everything - it shows features, that are being compared in action. In the first video we present Internet browser comparison in the area of Flash support (Flash required to view this video): * * * * * Commentary As you can see above iPhone's Safari browser does not support Flash at all and as of now Apple totally does not allow any browser plugins. In other words: hulu.com, jibjab, original version of YouTube and several other websites that use Flash cannot be used with iPhone at all. On the other hand situation with Windows Mobile in area of Flash looks like this:
Verdict Clearly Windows Mobile is the winner here. Interestingly, in UK certain advertisments of iPhone were forbidden just because they claimed that iPhone provides "full Internet browsing" despite the fact that it does not support any form of Flash. While some may argue, that having Flash is not so essential, we must underline that in many cases it is simply impossible to access several websites, or their main functionality, without Flash!
