Could the iPhone Improve Flash on Macs?

So we’ve heard since the announcement of the iPhone that they’re working on porting an optimized version of Adobe’s Flash Player, but the real question is whether that could help the situation on Mac hardware.

Now I’m typing this post on a G4 1.5 GHz Powerbook, so I accept the fact that I’m not out there on the bleeding edge. But when I visit a site that’s heavy on flash presentation, my normally snappy hardware slows to a crawl. Try it for yourself by visiting the MiniUSA Web site. It’s downright painful. I can’t even imagine what that would look like on the iPhone.

So here’s my call to Apple/Adobe, once you guys get flash running properly on a CPU-strapped device, don’t forget about us regular users who have tons more CPU cycles to spare – I know you can make it happen!
