iFlashCard:

This is a very simple native flash card application for your iphone. Follow the installation instructions to get it running on your phone.

This is not Adobe Flash. Just a flash card to learn foreign words or technology terms.

I don’t think Adobe Flash is coming soon. Flash is fairly CPU-intensive. Read John Gruber’s article on Flash on iPhone if interested. Apple and Adobe are separte companies; they don’t always share the interests. Provided that MobileSafari started to support Adobe Flash today, would the sales of the iPhone increase?

If you use a langauge other than English as your primary langauge in Mac OS X, you may encounter seeing garbage text in Flash embeded in browsers like Safari and Firefox.

This may seem to be caused by a hidden file called .CFUserTextEncoding located in your home directory. Because the file name starts with a .(dot), this can’t be seen in the Finder. You need to open the file and change the content from 0:0 to 1:14.

If you are not comfortable with using Terminal, run the following code in Terminal.

echo 1:14 >~/.CFUserTextEncoding

Enter the code above and press return.

You may need to re-login or restart your Mac to see the effect. This solution may be effective for other apps like OpenOffice.org.
