I smell fear.
The iPhone app development community must be trembling in its boots as CS5 gets closer. In just a matter of time, anyone with a computer and some elementary Flash skills is going to have an Apple dev account and will be submitting apps to the app store that they made in Flash.
There will be so many apps that the indie-game developer or small business iPhone app development company won't be able to make any money because the amount of free-app competition will be overwhelming.
Hell, it's going to suck for the consumer too. There will just be too much in the app store. Too much crap to filter through, too many poorly built apps to the point that downloading apps will be a chore. We'll need to try 20 before we find one jem.
Oh the humanity. When Flash apps start entering the app store, a lot of businesses will come crumbling down.
At least now there's the Objective-C learning-curve barrier, and you have to have a Mac. For Android, it's Java. But Flash. Oh man, a few hundred bucks later and anyone can create something.
I wonder how many Towers of Hanoi games the app store will have as the new Flash developers finish their tutorials and then try to sell their app?
