This has to be the best news since I don’t know when. Flash is finally coming to the iPhone and iPod Touch (sort of). Because of Apple’s refusal to allow interpreted code the applications are compiled to native code, so there is no Flash Player and interpreter. This means you can’t load external swf files or run ActionScript bytecode. The other biggie is the fact that Flash web applications in Safari are a no-no as well (because there’s no Flash Player). So, it’s Flash but it’s not Flash. The fact that there’s no Flash Player or Safari integration is no big deal for me, I’m interested in writing native application only. The big deal is all I need is Flash CS5 (a beta will be available this year, apparently) and all the development can be done on Windows! That’s right, no Apple Mac needed – way cheaper and it takes up less space.
