Abstract

The one element of Mobile Safari that has drawn the most attention is that it has no support for Adobe Flash. The Web has become a place where multimedia and animation hold an important role, and while being unable to create Flash-based web sites and casual gaming might not be a problem for most people, the main problem is that Flash is used in some manner on most sites nowadays, be it for graphic animation in headers, advertisements, or videos. Not supporting Flash can be a real issue for the iPhone and iPad user experience when viewing classic web sites.
