Adobe opens iPhone to Flash developers

Adobe also unveiled Flash Player 10.1, which provides a consistent runtime across screens, and is supported by close to 50 participants in the Open Screen Project, an industry-wide initiative to enable consumers to engage with rich Internet experiences seamlessly across any device. Flash Player 10.1 support is expected to be available for a series of mobile platforms including Google Android, Blackberry, Symbian, Palm webOS and Windows Mobile. The Apple iPhone SDK license terms do not allow runtime interpreted code, so Adobe is not able to deliver Flash Player in Safari on the iPhone without support from Apple. Applications for the iPhone built with Adobe Flash Professional CS5 do not include any runtime interpreted code.
