Since last November I was involved in developing extension for Adobe products that will help marketers and developers to instrument web sites and web based application for SiteCatalyst and Test&Target. Flash Pro and Dreamweaver extensions are developed in Flex, those are communicating to base products using JS API. (I will put a post, next month, about how to create an extension in Flex for Adobe products.)

Recently was lunch an update of all extension. You can download those extensions from here: www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/omniture/.

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.
