Experimental Adobe Wallaby Converts Flash for iPhone

It may be experimental and reference an animal you've never seen, but Adobe has released Wallaby to help developers convert Flash content into HTML5.

Apple has been clear about it's dislike for Flash technology, and will not allow plug-ins to view Flash content on its devices.
