Adobe Air already on iphone (sort of)

I started developing in Flash, doing websites. I then moved to Flash mobile (before the introduction of flite) and developed a mobile guide for a research project. When Flex was presented I didn’t dive into it, because I was busy with other projects and languages. When Adobe Air (introduced as Apollo) was released I started experimenting again. When I heard of the iphone I thought: “This is the platform of the future!”. But I felt disappointed when Steve confessed he didn’t like Flash on the iphone. Now I am simply thinking:

  • isn’t iphone running Safari? Yes
  • isn’t Safari based on webkit? Yes
  • aren’t Adobe Air application partly running on webkit? Yes, if developed in javascript/html.

So? I think it is not far the moment that ad Adobe Air application will run on the iPhone.

Flash Player on iPhone

Tags: flash, iphone

What a great news! Looks like Adobe is already implementing a flash player for the iphone. I was having a look at the iPhone sdk and was fascinated by its features. But this is a good news. Steve was lamenting there is a gap between the Flash player and its lite version. Let’s hope the gap will be filled soon! I was tempted to port Posty to the iphone. Maybe I don’t need to to that and I can focus on new features.
