Only yesterday I last wondered how long it would be before we see Flash support get added to the iPhone. It's been a popular request from iPhone owners, but this feature has remained ever elusive until now. Adobe Systems have announced that Flash developers will be able to create applications for the iPhone using their newly-arrived-in-Beta Flash CS5.
It's a shame you still won't be able to view Flash applications in the mobile Safari, but being able to create Flash based applications to run on the iPhone is a positive step forward, and not one I expected. To actually have the ability to build iPhone Apps outside of Xcode yet still have them appear on your home screen is quite amazing and I'm intrigued about how they've gone about getting it to deploy to the iPhone and whether they'll also be possible to be submitted to the Apple App Store or not. I guess these questions will be answered in time though.
