Flash for iPhone…really? That easy?

Developing for the iPhone is some of the most difficult stuff I’ve ever attempted. I did it mind you – made an app that you could shake and play the FSU fight song, but it was  huge pain in my ass. Yesterday I heard that Adobe is releasing the next version of Flash  with native iPhone support. Holy shit says this Flash developer. And just like that, as if it needed more, the iPhone will be getting flooded with new apps from Flash designers.

    Come on Andy … you know that Android is the real platform for serious developers… lol – Supposedly we’ve had flash for a year now, but the only app in the market got one star and the reviews are horrible… well, supposedly it is actually here for the new phones – http://tv.adobe.com/watch/open-screen-project/htc-hero-1st-flash-on-android-smartphone/

    but I’ll wait until it shows up in Android Market.

    Dude – is it me or is that phone bad ass?! Sprint has and HTC phone Laura been selling me on. I might have to check this out. As for Android, I’ve not yet had anyone ask for an Android app. I am curious to see what kind of wild shit they start building in terms of Flash for mobile…

    Yeah, I’ve had the original Android phone – the G1 for about 8 months now – I love it! I can’t live without the full keyboard, the touch screen alone sux for typing and most of the apps are free. Also, Google is much better than Apple about letting almost anyone put an app on the market. Apple already has been accused of keeping apps on lock down. Of course the iPhone is way more popular and that’s why you’re getting requests. I agree that Flash mobile development is the future. You can download the Android emulator and SDK if you want to try your hand at Java coding….
