Adobe Starts Creating a Flash Player for iPhone | Smartphone News

Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen said yesterday that Adobe has started to create a media player for Apple's iPhone. Adobe obtained the iPhone SDK in February, and this tool will enable Adobe to create a Flash player for the iPhone, which will then be released through Apple's iTunes online store. He stated that the Flash experience is similar to that of the internet, and they are committed to bringing Flash to the iPhone. They have evaluated the software development tools and can develop their own iPhone Flash player.

Apple CEO Steve Jobs mentioned in February that the company's iPhone did not adopt Adobe's mobile Flash format due to technical and performance concerns. At the same time, he suggested that Adobe develop a new type of player.
