Will be interesting to see if Adobe's program to port flash-to-iOS 5, which was to be included in CS5, is a go again.

Now I seriously hope it means we'll be able to use MacRuby on iPhone/iPad in the next few weeks/months.

Was this story broken here on HN? I can't find any other stories on Google News.

If so, well done jakewalker. Makes me wonder if HN can become a primary source for news in addition to an aggregator.

Wait, so does this mean Apple doesn't have a problem with a 3rd-party framework becoming the preferred API for iOS development? How does not allowing apps that download code prevent this?

Also, does this mean you can't download JavaScript from an external web page in your app?

Is this just a press release that changes are coming later today, or are the actual changes also published? If the latter, is anyone able to summarize what they are?
