You're right, Flash CS5 will be the tool initially; but it will come to the more developer-centric Flash Builder in due course. Tim @Gary

All the pieces I read stated it would be Flash CS5 and not Flex Builder, if it was the latter it could be interesting. Gary @Tim

I looked at the demo vids of creating a basic app using flash and it looks horrendous, well to a veteran (20yr+) coder like myself. I'm currently going through the pain of ObjectiveC and seeing these videos only convinced me its worth perservering with the route I have taken.

I know my iPod Touch 2nd Gen tends to spend most of its time with a mere 5MB free RAM. Sure some of that might be jailbreak related hacks, but it certainly begs the question. The new 3rd Gen with 256MB RAM should be able to cope however but having Flash on that but not the older devices could do even more damage in alienating their customers. I myself got pissed when Sony doubled the RAM of the PSP and added exclusive features only to the new, cheaper, model. Does the iPhone have enough RAM for Flash?
