At Adobe’s “Flash On The Beach” conference, the company confirmed that a Flash player for the iPhone is under development and will be ready when and if Apple gives the approval.

While a true player hasn’t been fully developed and tested, Adobe’s Sr. Director of Engineering did confirm for the first time publicly that his team is “actively developing Flash support for the iPhone.” No word yet as to how comprehensive the player will be, nor whether it will bring true full-Flash support to the iPhone or if it will be a trimmed-down version.

Wonder if this will work on the blackberrys? or if a Blackberry version is in the works?
This is great news for anyone wanting to deliver brand experiences on mobile phones – it’s just a shame we still don’t know when it will happen. The powerful combination of the iPhone interface with the rich interactivity of Flash is something agencies, marketers and consumers will find hard to resist. Interestingly, we can also envisage a potential cost saving for clients as pre-existing Flash content is repurposed for mobile.
At present, it looks like there is only talk about the Flash plug-in on the Safari web browser. As such, Flash widgets per se are not really on the cards yet. Native iPhone widgets/applications in Flash are still a good while away, but we wait with anticipation for the opportunity to use this new technology.
