Link: Flash video not suitable for iPhone, Apple CEO says.

Apple Inc. CEO Steve Jobs said the iPhone won’t be using Adobe Systems’ Inc.’s popular Flash media player any time soon, saying the technology doesn’t meet his company’s performance standards for video.

…Jobs said the version of Flash formatted to personal computers is too slow on the iPhone while the mobile version of the media player is "is not capable of being used with the web,"

Actually *any* "free_to_web" video is of course technically transcoded to enable its playback on the ipod or iphone..

…The iPhone has been praised for its ability to show videos across the full length of the 3.5 inch device, a much larger display than most mobile phones with video capability.

But since the iPhone launched in June of 2007, the way in which it plays video has been criticized for its limited practicality. Users can play Quicktime videos online, but not Flash or Windows Media Video files.

Well, unless you use reeplay.it’s transcoding tool…

Popular online video website YouTube made a fraction of its videos available for the iPhone, but the majority of online videos run on Adobe’s Flash player and so cannot be played on the iPhone.
