After some initial confusion following WWDC, an AT&T memo has pegged the iPhone availability at 6pm in your respective US time zone. We imagine this comes down to Apple’s meticulous level of control over any monkey business. As such, the magic 6pm launch is likely the result of a next-day, 6pm delivery cutoff by AT&T’s distribution agent — FedEx. You don’t think these babies are just going to be sitting around in the stock room do you? So if you happen to see a FedEx guy hovering near an AT&T or Apple store on June 29th… well, be nice, mkay?
The latest word out of WWDC seems to be that the iPhone won’t support Flash — you know, that all-powerful web plugin that seems at times to be more freaking important than HTML itself. This comes just days after the latest iPhone commercial depicted a happy, errorless loading of the New York Times’ Flash-enabled site on the handset’s Safari-based browser, so we’re not too sure what’s going on there. For what it’s worth, we figure Apple’s spent way too long trumpeting the fact that the iPhone rocks a full implementation of Safari for a plugin as critical as Flash to not find its way into the device’s firmware at some point — and word has it that Apple is emphasizing the “yet” in “no Flash support yet” — so we’ll just have to wait and see what Adobe’s cooking.
