2. where can i get list of phones that support flash lite 2.0 and above?

Answer 1

As Ben states, the iPhone doesn't support Flash of any variety.

Regarding (2), there is a list on the Adobe website which may be of use.

Answer 2

No, the iPhone does not support Flash (lite or otherwise). Apple has been very clear that they have no interest in adding this support. Can't help you with (2).

Answer 3

Unfortunately mobile Flash support is not high on Apple's priority for one reason or another. For a complete list of Flash enabled phones go here: http://www.adobe.com/mobile/supported_devices/operators.html

Answer 4

Apple's legitimate concern I believe is with the Flash plugin sucking down resources. Anyone who has used Flash on anything other than Windows (Read: MacOS and Linux) can affirm that the plugin is pretty horrific. It leaks memory and grinds on CPU on both platforms, and it has for years now.

My understanding (it was reported about 2 months ago) is that in it's frustration Adobe tried delivering an inhouse built version of the Flash plugin. Unfortunately it's battery life was pretty awful. This was linked off Hacker News and is clearly anecdotal, but FWIW:

However, I also believe the new builds of Flash allow you to compile apps for iPhone, which is probably a more reasonable route to go. As I recall you could embed an iTunes Store URL in your page and direct iPhone users to grab the app.
