Some specs for the iPhone’s browser capabilities have been released (and then hastily deleted). However - they say that the iPhone won’t support Flash which is a little bit odd, considering their advertising campaign clearly shows the iPhone render Flash.
You can clearly see the Flash rendering fine in the pic below (via Flashcomguru), perhaps this […]

Came across this today. AsProject is a “cross platform, open source ActionScript development tool” developed by Luke Bayes. I haven’t had a chance to play with it yet but it sounds cool. From the site:

With S3, EC2 and the other arms of AWS (Amazon Web Services) they’ve developed quite a platform that developers can utilise to access unlimited resources and storage.
