Flash on the iPhone indicated by Adobe

Yesterday Adobe announced they have evaluated the recently released Apple iPhone SDK and have indicated they will be developing a flash player for the iPhone on it. That is great news from a interactive application and games standpoint.

I would speculate that it may even provide for developers to bypass the iPhone SDK where it might of been used previously and just develop apps in Flash that need rich experiences - saving learning curve time and allowing for increased re-usability. It will also allow the web design audience a avenue to deploy interactive elements to the iPhone without needing to know how to development in C or a similar language.

Nothing but goodness with this news. Hooray for cooperation between the big tech players..

[Edit 3/23/08: UPDATE - So Adobe is back-peddling some on this claim now saying they will need Apple's cooperation. Well we can still hope.. Source: http://macworld.co.uk/ipod-itunes/news/index.cfm?newsid=20775]
