Don’t expect Flash for the iPhone ever.

Adobe hates Apple, Apple hates Adobe.

Flash & it’s new DRM is not making any friends at Apple.

Flash is a video shell – Apple already has that.

Flash is mostly used to animated ads for browsers – slowing iphone browsing so 99.99% pointless.

With iphone SDK anything that’s a flash “app” can be a full fledged app so flash redundant.

Flash is not going anywhere near an iphone.

I do have MobileScrobbler installed – by far the most polished jailbreak app I’ve seen. Very well done, indeed.

By the way, Pandora? Gotta get on the Last.fm bus man! MobileScrobbler on the iPhone is amazing.

Sprint customers have it easy with XM

With the iPhone, you can use uXM or uSirius to create MMS-streams, then use Orb’s MyCast to broadcast them over the internet. Works like a charm if your PC is always on, albeit a cumbersome option. Haven’t tried any shoutcast solutions.

I’ll be posting on another upcoming solution today or tomorrow that once released, will make all of this a whole lot easier for us…

I’m not sure about the iPhone… I have a Sprint Mogul and just use this to stream my XM: http://xstreamxm.com/mobile/

Nice, I didn’t even think about relaying it over WiFi with something like ShoutCast. However, my Windows dekstop is mostly off these days and a MacBook Pro is my primary computer – and I close the lid when not in use.

Hey Dave, ping me if you want and I’ll dig up the guide to stream XM to your iPhone. It’s a bit cumbersome and it involves leaving your PC on to use as a server (not a prob for most of us). I use the process with Sirius and it works perfectly – even over EDGE most of the time.
