Flash player for iPod Touch?

[zener42]

Do any of you know if there is a Flash player plug-in for the Touch's version of Safari?

Thanks!

Yes.
The answer is no.
And the answer to the followup goes as thus: Apple has been pretty clear that this isn't coming, any other browser app is likely forbidden by the iPhone/Touch SDK terms from developing such, and all rumors that it is coming pretty much have no basis.

Flash consumes so many system resources that it'd probably be a flaming wreck on a system such as the iPod touch/iPhone.

I'm kind of happy it isn't coming to the iPhone. The amount of CPU grunt required to run flash would very likely suck down as much battery life as having 3G AND Wi-Fi on at the same time.

i think theres an app (not sure if its for jailbroken touches) called mixtube, and that lets you go to flash sites, and dld the videos, im guessing into mp4 or something

Thanks for all the replies. I guess I'll just have to use my home computer for sites with Flash.
