Adobe scraps work to bring Flash apps to iPhone

A great article MB pointed out: Adobe scraps work to bring Flash apps to iPhone:

Mike Chambers, Adobe's principal product manager for the Flash platform, let loose a tirade that indicates the battle between the two companies isn't over yet.

 "As developers for the iPhone have learned, if you want to develop for the iPhone you have to be prepared for Apple to reject or restrict your development at any time, and for seemingly any reason," Chambers said. "The primary goal of Flash has always been to enable cross browser, platform and device development. The cool Web game that you build can easily be targeted and deployed to multiple platforms and devices. However, this is the exact opposite of what Apple wants. They want to tie developers down to their platform, and restrict their options to make it difficult for developers to target other platforms."

I read Mike Chamber’s blog post, too. Some interesting remarks by him in the comments section, too. This one caught my eye:

> Is Adobe planning to develop a significant Flash-to-HTML5 conversion suite?

We showed some prototype work on this at Max last year.
