As of last week, the Adobe Connect Pro Mobile app for iPhone
and iPod Touch is available for free download
from the Apple app store, making it the second well known web conferencing
platform in the iTunes store. And here I thought Adobe and Apple were refusing
to play nice these days…
"But how is that possible without Flash?" The new app was
built using a currently unreleased to the public version of Adobe Flash
Professional CS5 that includes "Packager for iPhone," a feature that allows Flash designers to use
Flash ActionScript 3 to put the application together and then bundles it up to
create a native iPhone app.
It's still early to get a very good feel of user
reaction as feedback has been mixed, but the use of Flash via the Packager for
iPhone for the first time is exciting in and of itself, and means that there
should be a pretty seamless transition to move the app to other smartphones in
the future.
