With the internets all a-flutter over Mac OS X 10.5.2 arriving on the scene, this tid-bit is in from GearLive -- yes, the very same folks who brought us news of the jiggly icons on the iPhone that we were somewhat doubtful of.

This time around, GearLive is reporting that we can expect to see Flash on the iPhone (and one would assume, iPod touch) 'very, very soon'. No doubt, that brings joy to many people's lives -- Flash has long been one of the most in-demand additions to the iPhone -- but some of us Flash cynics can't help but feel that for Flash sites whose usability is perhaps compromised on the desktop, we're happier with it staying off of our handheld devices.

Flash gripes aside, chatting with Andru from GearLive tonight they're mighty confident of their sources and have a good track record. Let's just see how this one runs, shall we?

I've been waiting for this update for months now and will be very happy if it pans out... **fingers crossed**

Ahhh, the trifecta.

I'd add A2DP to that list personally :)

that thing would just DOMINATE with a feature set like it has and those modern-day staples.

I would buy one tomorrow if it existed

Ya know, for awhile I wanted real GPS, but I have to say the triangulation works much better than I could have ever anticipated.

I fail to see how the addition of Flash is a good thing.

i dont want flash at all! If load times were bad on EDGE without flash, could you imagine loading up all the flash ads all over every site out there? No thanks! I hope there is a toggle switch or something to disable it.

3G is coming this year, according to AT&T. Rumors are the EDGE iPhones are set to have a pricedrop as well. If so my 8gb is going up on eBay the same day :D
