One of the best selling consumer electronic devices of all time, and the fastest selling smartphone ever, the popularity of the iPhone among developers and consumers has created an explosion of applications that has captured the attention of consumers around the world. The upcoming release of Adobe® Flash® Professional CS5 will include a Packager for iPhone that will Flash designers and developers publish ActionScript 3 projects as native applications for iPhone. These applications can then be delivered to iPhone users through the Apple App Store.

The Packager for iPhone allows developers to use Flash technologies to develop content for iPhone and iPod touch, devices that were previously closed to them, including nearly all the AIR 2.0 and Flash Player 10.1 APIs. Developers can write new code or reuse existing web content to build applications for iPhone, it also provides an easier way to target other mobile and desktop environments. Unfortunately, the new support for iPhone applications included in Flash Professional CS5 will not allow iPhone users to browse web content built with Flash technology on iPhone, but it may allow developers to repackage existing web content as applications for iPhone if they choose to do so.
