Iphone + flash

Everyone understands that it’s very bad for Apple to let Adobe have flash player in iPhone’s Safari. I bet it will harm a lot App Store, especially games, because of millions of free flash games over the Web. If an iPhone is powerful enough to run them is another question though.

This is apparently how Adobe begs Apple to let iPhone have flash player installed.

And that CS5 will be able to publish to iPhone surprised me a lot. But after some thinking it seems that Flash to iPhone publishing is much better for Apple than it may seem. It is another free (free for Apple) platform to develop apps which requires developers’ license too and all apps are subject to App Store censorship. More apps — more money.

And mean while, here are two links to Mike Chambers’ posts where you can find more information about Flash to iPhone publishing.
