Adobe is adding HTTP Live Streaming to Flash Media Server, allowing compatibility with iOS devices like the iPhone and iPad, as well as computers that don’t have Adobe Flash installed. The software will now generate an HTML5 compatible stream. These changes were previewed at the National Association of Broadcasters conference in Las Vegas. Adobe, of course, has been campaigning to get Apple to allow Flash to be installed on iOS, citing that people using Apple mobile products were missing out on things like video streams encoded in Flash.

On top of Lee Brimelow, Platform Evangelist at Adobe, telling Apple to “screw” themselves last week, there is also now the possibility that Adobe may bring Apple to court. This rumor is fueled by the fact that Apple’s new SDK agreement doesn’t allow developers to submit applications created by cross-platform compilers such as Adobe’s Packager for iPhone OS technology, Flash-to-iPhone, that was released as part of Flash CS5.

Since the iPhone was released, users wanted it to have Flash. Since the iPhone SDK was released, that want only got larger. But Apple’s stance on the idea has always been the same. Basically, the iPhone isn’t powerful enough to run Flash. And if Adobe were to make an app, Apple would probably deny it from the App Store. Well, everything’s changed.
