I guess it isn't really a problem with the player as I can't even install it. It seems a little odd to me that there seems to be no way to install the Flash Player for Safari on my iTouch. Does anyone know of a way that I can get Safari to display Flash content? As of right now, I can't use my own website because I built the main navigation in Flash. It's also frustrating because a lot of videos on the web today are displayed with Flash (ie: youtube, vimeo, etc). I know you can use the "YouTube" app on the iTouch, but there is a lot more to video on the web than YouTube, and speaking of which, you can't view videos if you go directly to YouTube.com using Safari. I've been tempted to Jailbreaking my iTouch in an attempt to fix this problem, but would like a safer, more legit way to view such content. Any help you guys might be able to offer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

There is no way to view Flash content on the iPhone. Period.
Consider rebuilding your navigation in HTML or at least offer an alternative.
As for the rest of the web using just Flash video, that's too bad. What will make things easier down the road is that Adobe already offers support for viewing H.264-encoded videos through Flash Player. Hopefully sites will wisen up and serve their videos in this new, more accessible format.

Flash is the Spawn of the Devil, and if you don't design your websites with an HTML fallback, you shouldn't be in web design.

There are some valid uses of flash. Here's one: Everybody! Everybody!
If a mobile device were to support Flash, it would be a very limited kind of support. Flash is just too processor intensive in most instances.

I figured as much, thanks for reassuring my suspicions.

I couldn't agree with you more (in most cases). My current site is old and I have been too busy working to get it up to date. Having now viewed it on my iTouch, a redesign is soon forthcoming.

Are they back? I thought they killed them off.
