When Apple releases it. Your guess is as good as anyone's really. Check out www.iphonealley.com and www.macrumors.com

Even if it comes out, it may not be compatible with what you're trying to do. Adobe has only been putting out the latest versions of flash on Windows, leaving Linux and Wii users stuck with version 7. The real question is, "When will Adobe open up the format?"

@KingVitamin: I don't know about the Wii version of flash, but Linux, at least, is at version 9. http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash&P2;_Platform=Linux

I don't think you'll see a Flash player for the iPhone any time soon. That's just a guess, but I think they disabled Flash deliberately: Flash uses lots of processing power on OS X, and I imagine it would drain the battery very quickly. Playing Flash-based videos might be difficult with the iPhones processor.

There won’t be. Adobe have ceased development on all mobile versions of Flash.
