Something got me thinking this morning - we’re waiting for two pretty major releases both from Apple in the iPhone SDK and Adobe for Flex 3 and AIR - we know the iPhone SDK is going to drop to happen in February, but what if - the iPhone SDK was AIR? Would Apple get into bed with Adobe that much? It would be pretty darn cool - I mean, getting Flash onto the iPhone is almost akin to death and taxes in that it’s going to happen inevitably. Imagine it for Adobe, getting that much instant penetration for AIR from the off, plus the AIR platform provides so much stuff that the iPhone/Apple could benefit from, sandboxing, application installation, updates etc but not forgetting the cross platform benefits….just a thought, nothing more. Thoughts?
EDIT: I know it’s not likely to be AIR…but wouldn’t it have been cool???

I too was thinking the timing was quite interesting. What if the iPhone SDK is Adobe AIR and thus flash and flex is supported on the iPhone. That would be pretty neat.
