It was announced today at the annual Adobe MAX event that Flash applications will now be available for use and development on iPhones – something that up until now was unheard of.

“Flash on iPhone – Hell yes” @ironkoopa (Miami Beach, FL)

By 2010, Adobe also hopes to have Flash Player 10.1 technology available on all smartphones. Right now, a version much lower in size and quality is used on smartphones to view videos. The new software is said to work as well on a smartphone as a PC.

“Flash player 10.1 will be smartphone enabled, early 2010 with multitouch and mobile device optimization.” @aquarious (undisclosed)

Though Flash apps for the iPhone/iPod Touch platforms were revealed today, it’s uncertain whether or not Apple will be in compliance with this full Flash software that is already backed by companies such as Nokia and Google.

Some Twitter users are excited to try out these new Flash apps on iPhones, and look forward to viewing Flash websites on other smartphones in 2010.

   Kent_CG (undisclosed) Very cool: Flash CS5 will let you create native iPhone apps: http://bit.ly/JieOo (via @rob_sheridan) 06 Oct 2009 from Twitterrific

But because Apple hasn’t agreed to partner with Adobe for the full version of the smartphone Flash Player, many Twitter users are upset.
