First we had NES, then we had GBA, now we have PS1 emulation on the iPhone and iPod touch. Opening up the iPhone to PS1 really shows the iPhone’s gaming capabilities. While still needed to be optimized to run faster, I guess you could play a game. It’s only about 10-15FPS right now, but as we saw from the other emulators, after time we eventually obtained playable FPS rates on most games. ÂÂ

Google’s new web application allows individuals to view their Picasa albums on their iPhone. You log in to Picasa on your iPhone, the interface comes up and allows you to scroll through pictures landscape or portrait.

Orb on the iPhone isn’t new, as such, but the media streaming company has a newly designed interface especially intended for the cellphone and its iPod Touch cousin. That puts pay to our overriding criticism of the service from last time - that the desktop UI wasn’t as compatible with the iPhone’s mobile Safari browser as would be nice - and now means that place-shifting music from your home PC to your iPhone via an MP4 stream is indecently simple.

After an Adobe Support Engineer was asked when the iPhone and iPod touch would support flash on Mobile Safari, a response concluded that the wrong company was being asked. It doesn’t look like an update with Flash is near, but possibly a member of any of the iPhone dev teams can hack it up.
I personally think that Google bought exclusivity of flash video’s for YouTube on the iPhone, taking away any thoughts of flash for Safari on the iPhone, not allowing you to browse other flash video websites other than YouTube. We’ll have to wait and see how this plays out. There is flash somewhere in the iPhone as it’s running the YouTube app, but not being used for Safari. Hopefully Apple has future updates with the iPhone allowing Flash to run with Safari.
