How to Install Flash on your iPhone

In the last post I was talking about jailbreakme.com a website where you will find everything you need to escape from the Apple jail and install Apple unapproved apps on your iPhone.

You remember that your iPhone dont have Flash (if you dont just browse a flash website and you will see for yourself). Now on Jailbreak.com you can find “Frash” (yes Frash not flash becouse is just a port of the Flash). Frash is at the begining and cant render every flash on the web, have alot of errors (it can not play flash movies yet) but you can see most of flash websites that until now can not be displayed on your iPhone.

Now you for installing Frash you have to have a jailbroken phone (go to jailbreakme.com from your phone and install it)

Then the instructions are as follows:

  1. Launch Cydia and tap the “Manage” button
  2. Tap “Sources”
  3. Tap the “Edit” button (top-right)
  4. Tap “Add” (top-left)
  5. In the pop-up box, type http:///repo.benm.at/
  6. Tap “Add Source” to close the box
  7. Tap the “Done” button (top-right)
  8. Go to the “Search” section in Cydia and search for “Frash”
  9. Install the app.

Done!

Steve Jobs (Apple) Vs Flash

iPhone and iPad will never see Flash. Why? Becouse Steve Jobs can not control what apps will emerge from Flash Developers.

Another example is “Justice League”. Look on the picture. On the top is a preview on Google Android. And at the bottom a preview from iPhone. Is not looking right on iPhone, something is missing.

Make your own website toolbar

Have you seen that almost every website have a toolbar? Why? Because with a toolbar designed for a specific website you can get your visitors to return every time you update your toolbar and your site.

Now you can start looking on toolbar tutorials start design one, working hours an hours on debugging and programing and debugging and …

Or … you can get an already available toolbar put your website or application logo put an rss or other already available gadgets and start promoting it. And if you cant find what you need use the toolbar API, html and flash to build what you have in mind.

And yes it is free and more you can make money with it when people download your toolbar.

Lets see some images:

And the money :

Where you can get this toolbar? At Conduit: http://www.conduit.com

Preview your website in iPad

iPad is out. Now a good question for webmasters and website developers came. How my website is rendered on iPad.

You dont need to buy an iPad for this, there is a free service witch render your site like in iPad.

Included iPad like keyboard, normal and lendscape view. (Click on the top iPad border to rotate). Flash is not supported on real iPad. This will support so if you want the real iPad render you should disable flash on your browser.
