Flash iPod apps

There is still no sign of Apple supporting flash in the iPhone / iPod touch web browser, but we can use it to build apps. Adobe has enabled Flash CS5 to export flash apps as native iPod apps. This means that you cant put an app out on a website, you will need to go though Apples method of distributing though there app store.

Check out some samples:

I have noticed that there have been complaints about performance of the graphics. If you read comments about the apps in the apple store people say that the FPS are low, but I think those are things that Adobe and developers will work out.

This is a big win for Flash developers.
