Or the fact that the flagship feature of Flash CS5 (the only feature of any real interest to anyone, I would say) has been completely nullified under a week before CS5 is due to be released. Clearly Adobe had no idea that Apple were going to do this. Imagine how you'd feel if you were one of the poor guys who's spent months writing the cross-compiler... b. -- <bas(a)bas.me.uk> <URL:http://bas.me.uk/> `Zombies are defined by behavior and can be "explained" by many handy shortcuts: the supernatural, radiation, a virus, space visitors, secret weapons, a Harvard education and so on.' -- Roger Ebert

The first bullet point on this page: <URL:http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashcs5/> The fact that the other features don't warrant `Learn more' links says it all, really. (I suspect the last point might be useful if you write ActionScript in the Flash IDE, but I'm fairly sure no one who is actually competent does.) b. -- <bas(a)bas.me.uk> <URL:http://bas.me.uk/> `Zombies are defined by behavior and can be "explained" by many handy shortcuts: the supernatural, radiation, a virus, space visitors, secret weapons, a Harvard education and so on.' -- Roger Ebert

Are Apple now saying that they don't want that extra layer between the applications and the iPhone/iPad platform, so they're recinding approval for AIR apps on the iP? -- Pd

The phrase isn't in the current (OS 3) SDK, so there's no reason to rescind anything. Apple may well require all developers to build against the OS 4 SDK at some point, at which point people using Adobe's layer are screwed. -- Chris
