Ramblings of Nick Robillard

Flash is coming to the iPhone - well kinda. The web player will not be supported - instead, and even better, Flash applications will be compilable as native iPhone apps. So really, for 99% of users, Flash for the iPhone is not coming in the way they had hoped.

Personally, I could care less about Flash player support. What titillates me, as a Flash developer, is that I'll be able to make full-featured native apps using something I already know intimately. And that's freaking awesome.

Well I was finally able to really use the GPS capabilities of the iPhone and I'm really impressed. For one, I was really happy that the GPS features didn't literally need a straight shot to the sky. A car roof or something similar doesn't render the GPS useless. (i think it updates a little less) The Maps app updated very smoothly when I had a straight shot skywards (many times a second) and went down to maybe once every 2 seconds when a car roof was in the way.
