Adobe will cancel the development of the Flash-apps-on-iPhone technology. It is a response to the Apple's ban on generally speaking tools that may be used to play Flash on Apple devices by easily converting code to iPhone compatible, like recently released Adobe CS5.
Mike Chambers, Adobe's principal product manager for the Flash platform said: "The primary goal of Flash has always been to enable cross browser, platform and device development." He also mentioned that "this is the exact opposite of what Apple wants. They want to tie developers down to their platform, and restrict their options to make it difficult for developers to target other platforms." Adobe is considering legal action against Apple.
Apple responded that they have substitution to Adobe's Flash. It is HTML 5, CSS, JavaScript, and H.264, which allow to perform basically similar actions to Flash on Apple devices.
Adobe has an ally that is willing to cooperate, Google. Both companies are working on bringing Flash to Android devices. The progress is satisfying. I think that Google will gain advantage over Apple. There have been many complains on Apple that their devices are missing a part of Internet, because of the lack of Flash support. The competition is becoming more stiff.
