Adobe announced the new feature to become available on the iPad on the Flash Platform blog.
Following the Packager for iPhone product, to provide developers the facility to make Flash apps function on the iPhone and iPod Touch, subsequently Flash apps can easily create iPhone apps using Adobe CS5.
The Adobe statement:
We announced the Packager for iPhone at MAX 2009 which will allow Flash developers to create native iPhone applications and will be available in the upcoming version of Flash Pro CS5. This technology enables developers to create applications for the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad (though applications will not initially take direct advantage of iPad’s new screen resolution). It is our intent to make it possible for Flash developers to build applications that can take advantage of the increased screen size and resolution of the iPad.
Adobe mentions this article by Christian Cantrell. The article scrutinizes in detail how developers can build apps using Flash with a variety of options available.
It appears that Adobe in trying to accomodate its Flash developers so that they can use its platform rather than join the App Store.
