Get Flash content on your iPhone (kind of)

One major missing feature of the Safari browser on the iPhone has been the lack of Flash support. There are many rumored reasons for this, but it is still annoying to us, the end user.Well, is there is a workaround online that allows you to view some Flash content in your browser. It is not true Flash content, but rather content that has been transmogrified. What is transmogrification? Let us explain.

iTransmogrify is actually a Safari iPhone Bookmarklet which replaces the Flash content with a format natively supported by the iPhone (like Quicktime). An example of this might be; if you are looking at a page with youtube content embedded in it, iTransmogrify will replace it with a Quicktime version pulled from YouTube. But this will only work if YouTube has allready stored a version of the clip in Quicktime format on its servers. This also works with mp3’s that might be embedded within a Flash player.
