Doherty said that in December 2009 to 7 million iPhone users trying to download Flash. These figures have reached 3 million in June this year.

“We are surprised by the number of visits by iPhone OS devices, users seek the Flash Player to play rich content from your favorite sites,” Doherty said. “Users that, before we created the special page, had no idea that Apple do not want them viewing the Internet as they see it today.”

Apple and Adobe are increasingly frustrated by the lack of Flash on the handhelds first. Adobe insists that without Flash, the iPhone and iPod users can not view the video on the web, as well as many other games and Flash applications. Apple complained of about factors like battery consumption and stability; CEO Steve Jobs is in fact said to have called Adobe “lazy,” suggesting that HTML5 is a better solution for the video.
