Probably never, judging from the message to Apple from Adobe's platform
evangelist Lee Brimelow. He has offered the following opinion (purely
personal, nothing to do with his employer, your mileage may vary etc)
"go screw yourself"

Yes, Adobe is not going to demean itself by actually writing apps for
the iPhone that conform to the requirements of Apple's SDK.

Hmm, he also suggests a boycott of Apple while denying that is what he
is doing.

Except that they have - look up 'Adobe Ideas' for the iPad.

In general though, they do rather seem to be in a quite spectacular
'toys out of the pram' mode at the moment.

May have something to do with iSteve calling them 'lazy' pretty much in
public.

I wonder if that's a native thing, or a recompiled lump of Flash?

Yes, and I think it'll just backfire on Adobe. Apple's silence is
looking pretty dignified.
