I think when Adobe Flash Builder can compile to native iPhone and utilize true iPhone UIKit (UITableView, UITabBar)so that you can't tell the iPhone app was written in ActionScript 3 - that will allow Adobe to at least have a foothold for it's core customer base, in the form of enterprise / business iPhone apps.

Slider is a step in the right direction.

I don't miss Flash on my iPhone. There's nothing useful Flash can do that isn't better done with HTML 5 or a native app.

On the same topic, this response is pretty good: http://flashmobile.scottjanousek.com/2009/12/26/commentary-o...

This guy has it in for Adobe in general and has bashed their other products in the past. I think he just is being provocative to get traffic.

Its kind of funny, Aral was one of the guys behind OSFlash.org, and a pretty well known Flash guy. I do understand where he is coming from though.

The post he links to, http://aralbalkan.com/2508, is pretty good too.
