Today, at Adobe MAX Adobe Systems Inc, announced that developers will be able to use Adobe® Flash Professional CS5 to create rich, interactive applications for the iPhone and iPod Touch. A public beta of Flash Professional CS5 is expected to be available later this year. In a sneak peek, during the MAX keynote presentation, Adobe demonstrated how developers can utilize Flash Professional CS5 to export applications for the iPhone, leveraging the same source code used to deliver applications across desktops and devices for Flash Platform runtimes – Adobe AIR™ and Flash Player 10. Adobe also showcased a series of new iPhone applications that were built using a beta version of Flash Professional CS5, including Trading Stuff which was developed for the program by PushButton Labs. Trading Stuff In Outer Space was built as an early technology prototype in the initial beta version of Flash Professional CS5.
