Flash CS5 and the iPhone
Posted By wassim in FlashI think that by now everyone in the flash community knows about the “Slap in the face” we, as flash developers, received by Apple, in case you didn’t you can read all about it in the “Go screw yourself Apple” post.
A side effect of adobe’s announcement that flash CS5 will export to iPhone and iPod touch was encouraging thousands of flash developers to buy an iPhone or iPod touch to have the appropriate hardware to test and develop Flash-based ipa, at least that’s what I did…Now Apple should be grateful to this “free Marketing favor” Adobe inadvertently offered to say the least…
I already have a windows mobile powered HTC touch diamond phone and I invested in buying a 3rd generation 32 GB iPod touch for that purpose, if Apple continues its tight policy about 3rd party-built ipa, then I will either have to invest in an Android or just keep my ipas for myself! I might even have to jailbreak the iPod to be able to use my own built applications on my device! please correct me if I am wrong (should the device be jailbroken to install my own self-built ipas without having to kiss Mr Jobs ‘hand’ to get approval?)

You can install whatever you want on your own iPhone, as this won’t need to go through the store approval process. The store is regulated, that’s all. You will need to be an iPhone developer though.

I was looking around your website when this article caught my eye. It noticed you seem to know about the iPhone and i wasn’t sure where to ask this question, so i just posted it here.
I have an iPhone and the most thing i enjoy about it is the applications, but most of them require internet. Is there a way to get internet on your iPhone wherever you are here in lebanon? Apparently WAP doesn’t work on the iPhone.
