Every Flash Developer is a iPhone Developer now

Adobe has done it, once again. In Flash Professional CS5 now you can develop applications for iPhone. Flash CS5 converts your application to native Objective-C code when the content is published. These application can be delivered to iPhone and iPod users through the App Store.

Public beta of Flash Professional CS5 is planned to be released later this year.
