How to play flash video on iPhone?

Apple and Adobe have long been involved in an issue of whether and how to implement flash playback functionality on the popular handset. Adobe is willingly to offer flash player application to run on iPhone. But the Flash component is different from Flash Lite, the mobile solution for Flash playback provided by the multimedia company on other smart phones such as Nokia and Windows Mobile. Apple's CEO Steve Jobs in a recent comment said the Flash player is either weak on functionality of mobile build for phones or heavy on resource consumption of standard build for desktop. Therefore, the implement of Flash playback with iPhone will be overdue with no deadlines.

Though this is a pity to iPhone's bold declaration to bring the whole desktop experience to the handset, geeks have by efforts found adaptable solutions to get Flash to play on iPhone. For instance, iPhone users may use a third-party application named iMobileCinema.
