Why is it that Apple refuse to assets Adobe in their effort to deploy Flash on iPhones and iPads? Some people believe that Apple fearful that Flash will reek havoc on their battery life. Some think it’s purly profit driven. Think about it. Apple only used Flash on their web site for about a year or two before strictly used QuickTime to handle all of their site’s rich-media content. So they are keep in the same vain by not supporting flash on their Mobile devices.

As a consumer and as a Flash developer, I’m split on this issue. Why? Well I’ve been a Apple user (designer) long before I became a Flash user (developer). Plus I’ve always enjoyed Apple product because they have the tendency of being much more stable than their competitors.

I do feel that Adobe is getting the short end of the stick though. Together, Apple’s OS coupled with Adobe’s creative suits has been such a perfect relationship for those of us in the creative industry. But now with all of the new growth that Apple has had in the mobile sector, they are leaving Adobe to fend for themselves.

The good new is Adobe took some huge steps to remedy this problem by adding a new publishing option in the new Adobe® Flash® Professional CS5. We will now beable to publish AS3 projects files as native iPhone apps. I’m note sure on all the technoligy behine it but they have a few apps up on line now ready for your iPhone… all build using Adobe CS5 beta. Here are a few iPhone applications build using Flash and downloadable via the Apple App Store.
