Did Apple just shoo away developers into developing for the Google Android?

According to Adobe, they just did. Mike Chambers of Adobe has been among the many that are affected by Apple’s decision to cut the Adobe Flash Professional functionality down by banning the use of third party applications for creating iPhone content.

This means that no Flash apps can be recompiled into the iPhone. Instead, developers will have to code from scratch using C++. For end users, this may not seem like a big deal, but considering how many developers depend on simply recompiling (in order to save time and effort as well –and in turn productions costs to lower prices), this could lead to the loss of apps on the iPhone or a raise of prices if developers continue.

Adobe has since turned to the Google Android –which welcomes the use of any application for the creation of Android apps. According to Mike Chambers “Fortunately, the iPhone isn’t the only game in town. Android based phones have been doing well behind the success of the Motorola Droid and Nexus One, and there are a number of Android based tablets slated to be released this year.” Google’s Rubin has been quick to respond, posting a blog on the official Adobe website stating that Google is excited to work with Adobe on many difference levels.

Reports have shown that the number of apps for the Android market is continuously growing, with the numbers just having recently reached 50,000. Of course, the real concern by developers is if the Android will be able to attract the same kind of market that the iPhone has –users who are actually willing to purchase apps online.
