Adobe stops development of Flash tools for iPhone

Posted on Wednesday, April 21 2010 @ 21:17 CEST by Thomas De Maesschalck
Adobe announced it has given up on Apple's mobile OS and that it will no longer commit resources in its tools to port content over to the iPhone OS.
In spite of being repeatedly rebuffed by Jobs and company before, the Flash maker had kept up hope that it could sway (or nag) Apple into validating its wares, but the final straw in this relationship seems to have been Apple's dev tool lockdown. So what will Adobe do now? Principal Product Manager Mike Chambers tells us that Android is doing kind of okay and his company will shift its attentions to it and other mobile platforms.
