Regarding Google’s use of Flash in video chat: I suspect what’s going on is Google is using Flash’s H.264 capability, which is cross-platform—Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.
Flash on the iPhone: it’s a bigger issue. I seriously doubt Apple will allow any 3rd party runtime environment on the iPhone for anything that’s critical to the iPhone, such as video and animation. That’s also why there won’t be Java or AIR on the iPhone either. From a strategic point of view, there’s no way Apple is going turn over control of how video and animation to a 3rd party on arguably their most important product. And lets not forget that even the mobile version of Flash is slow, requires lots of memory and would seriously reduce the battery life of the iPhone. Thanks, but no thanks.
Last point: Mobile Safari has no plugin architecture; even QuickTime-compatible video play in a separate application, not in Mobile Safari.
Same thing with Opera or any other browser on the iPhone. BTW, Opera was never rejected from the App Store because it was never submitted: http://daringfireball.net/2008/11/opera_app_store.
Like all commercial platform vendors, there are certain restrictions and tradeoffs you have to deal with if you want to develop for that platform. It’s just that simple. So far, I think Apple is making the correct ones.
The entire Opera thing is kind of a red herring: Mobile Safari is based on WebKit, the same engine as Android and some Nokia phones. Not only is WebKit becoming the leading mobile browser, it’s also the most standards compliant and is already optimized for the iPhone. There aren’t throngs of iPhone users crying out for another browser on the iPhone. And because WebKit used by the operating system, on device that only has 128MB of RAM, loading another rendering engine doesn’t make lots of sense.

By the time I get this figured out, there will be nothing left to do! No matter, I enjoy the accumulation of new knowledge and new info, new ideas, old opinions…all of it, just the same.
Wish GillmorGang on-stage was something that would be accessible outside the “west-coast beltway,” though! Just for viewing, of course.
Keep up the great work, guys!
