Apple prohibits the flash web browser plugin but allows you to use Adobe AIR for iOS to build applications.
Being an app instead of a website makes sense on the iPad and iPhone. Users of those devices buys apps in the itunes store.
At least for the near term, using AIR to develop for iOS is really a great way to go.
AIR 2.7 lets you create the iOS package file (IPA) on a windows box and install it with itunes. Try developing on a mac and the iteration time is minutes not seconds. Develop and iterate with flashdevelop on a windows box and deploy to multiple platforms.
Adobe has taken care to optimize this version for mobile and for my money, I think as3 is a better programming language than Java or objective-C.

Dude I do support with you, flash make itself platform independent. Whats the different with JAVA
|

There should be that option as well.
I've always avoided flash, therefore I cannot rant around how bad it is or how soon it should be buried.

Condidering that you've avoided flash i would suppose you'd like the world to move to a better place, like anywhere but flash...
On the side, i don't like it that Steve says: NO. Lots of stuff just does not work on my iPad. I'm hoping HTML 5 will come to the resque...

Is this such a burning issues that we need a war over it? If it works and people want to use it why not?

I guess people don't want the risk of having to work / program with it!!!
A train station is where the train stops. A bus station is where the bus stops. On my desk, I have a work station....

I guess there are valid arguments for both...yes and no. I guess the same can be said about VB6.
Just along for the ride.

Right. Although I agree with you here, I have been told that a lot of devs here (code project) use VB6 for legacy apps.

VB6 is still a very valid option for office development. We ported our product (Excel add-in) from VB6 to vb.Net and let me tell you dealing with the Office COM Interop is a real pain when you don't want to have to ship a different version of your application for every version of Office that's still in use. There are ways around it, but they are far from foolproof.

Yes it will die at least for mobile devices
|
|

Even the Adobe is going to stop the development of Flash for mobile devices

I didn't have a problem being able to hear the spaceships in a vacuum, but I know that there were some folk who did complain about that.
Just because the code works, it doesn't mean that it is good code.

It was the Death Star exploding that made me groan

Not sound related but i found it rather strange that all destroyed star cruisers etc. dropped 'down'.... wherever that is in space
