Word yesterday that Microsoft had bitten the bullet and paid licensing to have Flash available on Windows Mobile has been trumpted today by news the animation software will be coming to the iPhone.

Following comments by Steve Jobs that current versions of Adobe’s Flash software are unworkable on the iPhone Adobe’s Chief Executive Shantanu Narayen has confirmed the upcoming availability of a Flash Player for the iPhone.

In recent comments the Adobe head said “We believe Flash is synonymous with the Internet experience, and we are committed to bringing Flash to the iPhone.” He went on to say “We have evaluated [the SDK] and we think we can develop an iPhone Flash player ourselves.”

Now we wait.

With Palm devices all but dead, and PDA’s a memory, the manufacturer of affordable mobile devices such as the Axim is re-entering a radically changed marketplace.

Despite rumors that the new Dell devices would run on Android there is fresh speculation that they will be Windows Mobile focussed devices and run GPS.

While WinMo appears to be the flavor of choice for smart phone users and manufacturer’s such as O2 and HTC is this a missed opportunity? Time will tell.
