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.

I was getting tired of using some of the images I had on my iPhone as wallpapers, so I thought, “I wonder if anyone’s made some iPhone wallpapers based on the CS3 background artwork?” All I could really find were wallpapers for the desktop, but nothing for the iPhone. Granted I didn’t look that long, but I decided to make some.

Initially I was going to only make some based on those CS3 backgrounds you see on Adobe software boxes, but one thing led to another. Before I knew it I got Doug McCune to throw some Adobe icons into TileUI and send me some screencaps. I also threw in a Photoshop Runner wallpaper (for the EffectiveUI guys), a Kuler wallpaper and an Adobe icon arrangement reminiscent of the mugs they had for sale at MAX.

You can get them all from here, or click on the image below.

In my search I also came across these cool iPhone wallpapers.
