First the iPhone, now iPad. Flash is not invited to the party, and obviously Adobe is not happy. Understandable.
They want to make sure their developers are able to write iPhone and iPad apps without ever leaving the Flash platform. Understandable.
What is not understandable is the route they are taking. The idea to convert Flash code to Objective-C code while clever, is very risky (especially considering the rejection and blocking history of Apple). Was an alternative route of converting Flash code to HTML 5 even considered? Apple would not have any problem with HTML 5 code, and even if they did, it wouldn’t matter. There isn’t much they can do about it.
It looks like Adobe is focusing on all the wrong things, and what a costly time to do that?
