Can you get Farmville on the iphone? This has been a desire for many hardcore Farmville fans but is it actually possilbe? Many people have labeled the idea as impossible and no way to do it. But I'm here to tell you a different story.
Farmville on iPhone Can you get Farmville on the iPhone?
First things first, I am not going to tell you exactly how you can get Farmville to work on your iPhone because most methods may not be legal and/or recomended by the manufacturer. Famrville is a flash-based game. What this means is it runs from a special internet-video format known as Adobe Flash. The reason it does not work on the iPhone is because Apple (for some strange reason!) has not developed an agreement with Adobe. Meaning all flash movies/games etc that are embedded in various websites cannot be viewed on the iPhone (or iPad at this stage).
Now I know what your thinking, is there a way around it? There is ALWAYS a way around things! Luckily for us, the iPhone is a very interactive and involved device, and there is more than one way to do this.
There is actually an iPhone app that automatically converts Flash programs to Java, this may sound like a load of computer jargen but what this actually means is that the iPhone can read Javascript and therefore play flash files. This may be quite jumpy though and I would expect it would only be useful to view things like banner-ads on websites (which isn't useful at all). I haven't tried to run Farmville using this so it may still be an option.
There is apparently a sure way to get flash to play on the iPhone as smooth as it does on a computer but this actually involves Jailbreaking your iphone. Jailbreaking an iPhone is the process of hacking the firmware of the phone to make it do basically anything you want and load custom applications designed for a jailbroken iphone. There are applications that do all this for you but I am not going to go into it.
You are obviously here to find out HOW to get Farmville on the iPhone but do you really want it? I mean Farmville is an incredibly addictive game and I'm betting you already spend too much time on your computer playing it, would you really want to make Farmville THAT CONVENIENT?
In my opinion I think most Farmville addicts would get extremely imersed in harvesting plowing and planting that they would lose contact with reality. I mean, the fact that you usually have to be at a computer to play Farmville means that while you are out with your friends, shopping, or enjoying the sun you are actually having a break from Farmville. But what if you had access to it 24x7 with something so convenient and something you ALWAYS have with you, your iPhone...? Computer games are meant to fill in spare time, not take over your life.
