Beau Ambur Got the Apple iPhone (Pictures)!

Posted by Ali Mills Wed, 10 Jan 2007 03:58:00 GMT

Congratulations to our friend Beau Ambur from Metaliq for getting the first Apple iPhone pictures on the internet and for becoming the most popular digg in the last 365 days with his pictures. Wow, those are both pretty impressive feats!

No word on Flash Player or Flash Lite support for the Apple iPhone. We’ll just have to wait and see…

Update:

According to Engadget, the iPhone is first party software ONLY and not a device that allows software to be installed. So, even if it ships with a Flash Player (and why would it since its an Apple product), it sounds like we won’t be able to get SWFs on the phone. Poop!

This decision strikes me as going against the spirit of NIX on phones.

Hopefully this decision is one of the things that will change before the phone ships in six months.

    Hey rick,

    It sounds like the title "Beau Ambur Got the Apple iPhone!" bummed you out. Sorry about that. My intention wasn't to be misleading - just trying to be clever. I definitely see your point, though, and will go ahead and update it to "Beau Ambur Got the Apple iPhone (Pictures)!".
