Just saw an interesting article on Engadget that compared iPhone SDK to Windows Mobile, Android, S60 and Toolchain.

What is really interesting is that Windows Mobile along with Nokia S60 supports Flash.

iPhone, as you know, does not support Flash (and won't support it any time soon, given Apple's comments yesterday about Flash being too slow to run on iPhone).

And what is even more interesting is that Microsoft and Nokia have signed a deal to make Silverlight available on Nokia S60 and S40.

So two things really:

1. Adobe needs to do something to get on to the iPhone platform. AIR runtime perhaps?
2. Adobe needs to look at engaging Nokia for AIR runtime.

Here is the article at Engadget: iPhone SDK Comparison Chart.

So I started going through my daily dose of information this morning. Found a link to this very interesting music player that describes itself as "desktop web player". It is called Songbird.

Downloaded and started playing with it. Very impressive. Plays music stored locally and on the web with equal ease. Has a very nice feel to it -- and it is still being developed!

But looking at it I couldn't help but thinking how easy it would be to write something like this in Apollo.

Just need to get my hands on it!
