Hi there,
Please note, in December Adobe announced that they would be discontinuing Mobile Flash in favour of having their tools become the
premier HTML5 editing suite for mobile devices.
It is not recommended that anyone build new sites using Flash for mobile platforms. Similar news has leaked from Microsoft that likely
Silverlight is also on the way out.
One free product you might want to investigate is PhoneGap:
http://phonegap.com/
It allows developers to build thing using HTML5/CSS3 and then automagically transforms it into source that can run on a number
of different devices. It is now quite sophisticated providing access to things like the camera, GPS, accelerometers and other gizmos
on smart phones and tablets.
Cheers,
Chris
