Adobe had unveiled its latest triumph as on Oct. 5, 2009. Where Adobe and competitors have been trying hard t make it to the iPhone, by leveraging their run time, Adobe had made it, with a different approach. “Why give them a interpreter when we can give them the native “. Late towards the end of this year 2009, Adobe presents flash cs5 professional IDE. The new IDE lets you publish your action script 3.0 projects as native iPhone executable. Imagine that now you wont be an alien to iPhone development and don’t have to learn their sdk either. Leverage your existing action script 3 skills to deploy for iPhone.

Following feature will not be available as of yet, due to a non openness from Apple.
