I released Simple Metronome app that runs with Package for iPhone technology, CS5’s new feature. I just got permission to talk about the app.

Seems this is the first Flash made iPhone app from Japan.

This app is originally made for technical research, to understand animation speed and interactivity of flash for iPhone. The reason why I made metronome is simply it needs accurate and smooth frame rate. Version 1.00 is minimum implementation, it will be updated step by step.

Some people said that flash is too slow for iPhone, however as far as I see this app, Flash is enough fast for actual project. It may be not for 3d game, but for utility app. Flash CS5 is still under development and I believe it will be much much faster when it is actually shipped.

The biggest advantage of Flash made iPhone app is that you can easily build both iPhone app and online demo. In iPhone app market, many people looking for the way to promote their application, however only flash developer can promote their app with working demo on the web site!!. It’s quite strong feature, isn’t it?

This is sample project and I will make the source code open. It will be available when Flash CS5 is released.
