Prediction 2008: Adobe on the iPhone?
With all the hype going around about the “leaked” iPhone firmware 1.1.3, I couldn’t help thinking about that one elusive feature, Flash on the iPhone. It goes beyond just looking at Flash content on the iPhone into running Flex apps on the iPhone. There have been discussions about an iPhone SDK on the horizon, but I’d love to be able to run applications like Photoshop Express, Adobe Media Player, Buzzword and connect to my Adobe Share account (maybe to share files via wifi).
I know there may be limited screen real estate on the iPhone, but it just means reworking the UI to make the user experience enjoyable on a smaller device. Of course there’s always room for “Mobile” or “Lite” versions of software, although in some cases it may be overkill to add applications that almost require that larger screen size.
With that said, I couldn’t help but mockup a version of the iPhone home screen with a slew of Adobe apps. Granted some of the apps probably have no business being on the iPhone.
UPDATE: Someone asked about getting the file for these icons. Here’s the Photoshop file.
