Apple iPhone ads shed disclaimer, show Flash support
Several readers noted late Wednesday that Apple has removed a disclaimer from its new series of iPhone ads regarding contract requirements. Meanwhile, the latest ad for the Apple handset suggests Adobe Flash support has may be a done deal.
When Apple launched a trio of iPhone ads earlier in the week, each included a disclaimer that read: "Use requires minimum new 2 year activation plan." However, a fourth spot added to the mix on Wednesday omitted the warning and Apple subsequently removed the note from all previous iPhone spots.
At the same time, readers also noted that the latest ad, which promotes an embedded version of Apple's Safari web browser, shows a Adobe Flash clip rendering properly on the New York Times website.
Although the Flash clip cannot be seen running in the ad, the fact that it renders has led to speculation that Apple will manage to include support for digital media format at the time of iPhone's launch.

I can clearly see the brush strokes where you tried to black out the wording...

Trust me, I'm a *pro* at spotting this stuff!

Well, hopefully Flash is in the iPhone. The computer at work doesn't have Flash installed (nor is it allowed) and it effectively makes many sites unusable. On the plus side, it does also prevent a fair number of ads from appearing as well. But if the iPhone is truly supposed to be a mobile web device, it needs Flash.

It also needs a good way to block it.

Na, they're just smudges on your screen!
Did anyone else read this to mean that iPhone now includes a disclaimer about storage sheds?

I went to go talk to cingular to see what they need when buying a new phone to ensure no hiccups. I know verizon, you're name has to be on the bill or you can't buy a phone and I wanted to make sure cingular wasn't like this, otherwise I'd need to have my mom add me to it.
The guy at the counter said something along the lines of last 6 months of contract? When I said I was cingular, he mentioned that he was hearing that "they" are saying that there isn't a two year contract.
Adobe Flash support has may be a done deal.

Get over it. I've tried this approach already, they don't care.

And one would imagine that the other half of your posts are to defend yourself against people calling you the grammar police.

wouldn't it be "Apple iPhone *adds* shed disclaimer" if that were the case?
I know you were probably just trying to be funny however, mis-reading titles isn't funny, it just makes you look foolish.
Flash is no big loss. I block it almost completely on every computer I own. If a site insists on it, then I don't need to use that site. Including Flash on the iPhone without an easy way to block it would be huge turn-off: waste of CPU, waste of bandwidth, popups, etc.
You must live an exciting life!
