The relationship between Adobe and Apple has been infamously rocky for quite some time. In the past, Apple CEO Steve Jobs even marked off Flash as being too buggy to run on their mobile devices. However, Adobe hasn’t turned a blind eye to Apple’s products and continues to do what they can to support the platform. In fact, it was just announced today that Adobe has released a new version of Flash Builder that lets hopeful developers easily create applications for not only Apple’s iOS but for for Google’s Android and RIM’s BlackBerry OS as well.

Seeing how the mobile application market has effectively blown up ever since app stores were introduced, Adobe’s latest build of Flash Builder is sure to give those anxiously awaiting their chance to create an app a whole new arsenal of tools. Not only that, but it will also give these developers the ability to code an application for some of the hottest platforms on the market, without having to take the time to rebuild said applications from the ground up.

If this is something you’re interested in, you’ll be happy to hear that Adobe is currently offering a Standard version of Flash Builder 4.5 for $249 and a Premium version for $699. A small price to pay to get an idea off the ground that could potentially be worth millions.
