Flash player
is a video codec that is used on many popular websites, including Yahoo and MLB.com. Adobe, the company that created the Flash player technology, has created an official Flash player application for Android phones, which allows you to view Flash content on your mobile device. While there is no official Adobe Flash application for the Apple iPhone, a mobile application called Skyfire, which can stream Flash video, is available in the iTunes App Store. Both applications enable you to enjoy a majority of the Flash video content on websites such as YouTube.
