Flash CS5 Will Export iPhone Apps

Posted by kdawson on Monday October 5, 2009 @09:04PM from the in-by-the-side-door dept.

HanClinto was among a number of readers to send word that Adobe has worked around the inability to run Flash on iPhones and iPod Touch devices. Adobe has been trying to work with Apple for more than a year to get its Flash Player software running on Apple's products, but has said it needs more cooperation from Apple to get it done. Now Adobe has come up with a work-around. At its Adobe Max developer conference in Los Angeles Monday, Adobe announced that the CS5 release of Flash Professional, due in beta later this year, will allow developers to write applications and compile the code to run on Apple devices. Getting these into the app store might be tricky, though.

your having problems with logic here but its quite simple, let me help you a bit.
for most people flash is a very good thing, for idiot zealots like you it isn't. flash continues to spread and grow in power.

if you're stupid enough to buy a phone that drops 1/5 of all calls in nyc then they deserve what they get - a walled garden that nobody with half a brain would want to be in.
