Adobe has come up with a way to let developers write Flash applications for Apple's iPhone and iPod Touch devices, even without the support of Apple. Adobe has been trying to work with Apple for more than a year to get its Flash Player software running on Apple's products, but has said it needs more cooperation from Apple to get the work done. It has now come up with something of a work-around. Flash Professional CS5 will include an option for developers to take the code they wrote for devices that do include Flash Player, compile it to run as a native, stand-alone application on the iPhone, and sell it through Apple's App Store.

A lot of free "apps" on the phone are little more than media blitz toys as part of larger promotions and media campaigns. Being able to create flash apps for the phone opens the platform up to a gazillion Flash artists and coders.
This is a great barrier being lifted by Adobe for its users, who want in on this platform and market.
