Today, Apple just announced the new iPad device. Great peace of work… and a better news is that the developers will be able to develop applications for iPad using the Flash Pro CS5. You may already know that we are able to develop applications for iPhone using Flash Pro CS5. Following that path, making applications for the new iPad using the tool above, looks like the natural way.
Although Adobe didn’t announced that Flash Builder 4 will be able to package iPhone apps it seems that it is possible – read this article from Ted Patrick blog.
I’m glad that Adobe is prepared for the new iPad. And although Apple do not want to add the Flash Player on their devices Adobe found a way making all Flash Platform developers, also, iPhone and iPad developers. You can read more here.

As I understand the process, one builds an AIR application, then pushes that through a converter, which then spits out an iPhone app. So Flash Pro will not be required, nor Flash Builder, just a future SDK release with appropriate cmd line converter.
Further to my previous comment, check out what Mark Doherty says at the recent FlashBrighton event. Goto http://live.flashbrighton.org/tv/ and select the ARALADOBEMOBILE link on the right hand side. Then watch from around 01:07:50. He explains the process of turning an AIR file into an iPhone app file.
David, thanks for your valuable comments!
