Adobe MAX is going on right now in Los Angeles, California, and while I wasn’t one of the lucky few selected to attend from my company this year (not sour grapes, I went to Chicago in ‘07 and had a blast), I have had to follow it’s updates through Twitter.
Anyway, Monday morning they made an announcement that when Flash CS5 is released, you will be able to port Flash games, applications, etc. to native iPhone apps. For a Flash developer like me, this has been a long time coming and I have to say I’m excited.
Couple this with the news that Bell (my cellphone provider) has recently confirmed they will be selling the iPhone next month, and you have someone in me who I would title as an “eager-soon-to-be-iPhone-owner”.
Here is a video showing off some of the apps for the iPhone built in Flash. I’ve already seen people coming out saying that this is a terrible idea, but I think those people are wrong and any questions and concerns they may have will surely be considered and fixed by Adobe.
