Flash on the iPhone?

As reported by the Alley Insider, Flash is coming to the iPhone. An article posted today reads:

Flex, AIR samples migrating to Adobe Flex Cookbook

I have decided to move many of my Flex and AIR recipes from the Flex Cookbook to the official Adobe Flex cookbook site. The first two are posted there now. If there is interest (comments, users) I'll post the rest over the next few weeks. You may also request the cookbook as a standalone document commented with instructions by emailing dnickull at adobe dot com.

1. Building an Apple shaped, chrome-less application as per the photo below. This application has been updated from previous versions to be compatible with the latest build of Adobe Flex Builder 3, beta 3.

2. Simple Demonstration of Binding to a Camera using flash.media.Camera. This sample is all about quickly binding to a camera stream and displaying the video image on your application using an object. Screenshot below.
