    This is good news for PC Flash-based developers.

    I know not everyone in this forum is a fan of Flash, but I think this is a major concession for Apple. This is, in no small way, due to the Android OS.

    I sure love Flash on my Android phone!

    I was waiting a long time for webpages to look like they do on a PC and not all this mobile BS. Love Flash or hate it, it is still around and you just about have to use it.

    Note that this doesn't mean that the iPhone supports Flash in Safari. This means that third-party tools, like Flash CS5, are now allowed to develop apps for iOS, rather than being restricted to Apple's SDK and official languages.

    That's a big reason why I'm psyched. I have CS5, and was disappointed to learn I couldn't develop iPhone apps.

    Good, I hope a lot of people jump on this bandwagon. Being able to easily compile Flash apps into iPhone format is huge. Which makes me want to ask: just how easy is it? Can any CS5-created Flash app be converted to iPhone with no manual coding changes??

    I doubt just any coding. For example, I use Perl and PHP to connect to a database. Maybe I shouldn't say any coding, but not just any application. I have never used this feature. I'll guess I'll find out shortly.
