Once upon a time there was an iPhone born....
And then the Flash on iPhone news never ceased to disappear. The latest to appear this morning was that
Adobe has already started development of the Flash Player for the Apple iPhone. This revelation was made yesterday by Adobe's chief executive officer, Shantanu Narayen during a conference call.
"We believe Flash is synonymous with the Internet experience, and we are committed to bringing Flash to the iPhone. We have evaluated (the software developer tools) and we think we can develop an iPhone Flash player ourselves." Shantanu is said to have said.
Well, after all is said, it will be worthwhile waiting for the player only once an official press release is made. Till then its best to work on all the other devices, handhelds and consumer electronics that Flash currently supports.

iPhone Trivia
Apparently the most expensive iPhone is ready for sale for a whopping 120,000 euros!!! Sure you are wondering what makes the phone so expensive... it is 318 diamonds of 17.75 carat weight!!!! And it has a name too - The iPhone Princess!!!!!
An Austrian designer has redesigned the iPhone for a Russian businessman in diamonds and 18 carat gold making it one of the most expensive iPhones in the world.
Well, I have heard of people having a fetish for mobiles, but
this news was way too expensive to digest.

Catch the Playyoo Blog for their Latest Featured Interview
Playyoo has
interviewed another game developer and this time it happens to be...me! In this interview, I have tried to share my impression of the Playyoo platform and the Flash Lite technology in general.
Fortunately for me I met Paolo Dotta, one of the important Playyoo guys, during
MAX in Chicago last year and I was quite impressed with their team's presentation of the Playyoo platform and what it could offer developers. The launch of the contest thereafter proved to be a huge success as developers populated their website with new games.
I started my association with Playyoo when I uploaded my first game, and after that it has only been addition of more games (winning wasn't the objective..honestly :-P). I'm glad to know that my games were played and liked by many members.
