When the new iPhone was released, there were more than a few grumbles that it fell short of its Web 2.0 browsing promises as it doesn’t have Flash capabilities, but fear not, Adobe has confirmed its proprietary programming language is now being developed for the Apple handset.

If you haven’t figured it out yet, this means that we could be seeing more Flash-enable browser games on the iPhone.

Here’s what Adobe had to say, in a statement released earlier:

“Adobe has evaluated the iPhone SDK and can now start to develop a way to bring Flash Player to the iPhone. However, to bring the full capabilities of Flash to the iPhone web-browsing experience we do need to work with Apple beyond and above what is available through the SDK and the current license around it.

“We think Flash availability on the iPhone benefits Apple and Adobe’s millions of joint customers, so we want to work with Apple to bring these capabilities to the device.”

Now to me this says that we could be seeing developers get busy with the flash designing, and start making some interesting content possibly away from the App Store and all its restrictiveness.

Remarkably even a company as big as Adobe must go through the developer application process, but surely Apple will welcome this development with open arms.
