You probably know Adobe is working to enable the development of iPhone applications on the Flash IDE. Yep, your imagination is correct: open Flash, write actionscript code, follow some step and end up with an iPhone application. The feature has been announced during the last Adobe Max conference. The great evangelist Lee Brimelow realized a video that illustrates how you can build iPhone applications through Flash CS5, which will be available as a beta by the end of the year. Though still limited (e.g. you don’t have a real simulator) the idea looks promising. I will continue to develop iPhone applications the “old way” but I’ll stay tuned for new developments on CS5. If you didn’t watch the video yet, go!
