iPhone to get Flash support, kind of

Posted in iPhone News by admin. Published October 7th, 2009

Adobe, just one day after announcing that full Flash support was headed to Android, webOS, Symbian, BlackBerry and WinMo, has announced that Flash will now be available, somewhat, on the Apple iPhone.

The Flash Player 10.1, which will work for all the other OS but not on the iPhone, is set to be released in January for Android and Symbian and March for other OS.

For iPhone however, the new Flash Professional CS5 will allow developers to create iPhone apps, using the new ActionScript3.

Says Adobe: “The new support for iPhone applications in the Flash Platform tooling will not allow iPhone users to browse web content built with Flash technology on iPhone, but it may allow developers to repackage existing web content as applications for iPhone if they choose to do so.”
