One of the biggest problems facing mobile internet surfing is Flash based content. However, this is soon to change. Flash CS5 (code name “viper”) is now under development with features that will enable it to create applications for mobile devices using action script 3. According to Adobe Labs, new features will include:
- Applications for iPhone — Publish ActionScript 3® projects in Adobe Flash Professional to run as applications for iPhone. Learn more.
