While it isn’t the flash browser plug-in for the iPhone we’ve all been waiting for Adobe to release, it is still a big step in the right direction. French hacker Joos has successfully ported Flash Lite as an iPhone App.

This port uses a framework that sits atop of eyeGT, a graphic renderer capable of handling vector graphics and bitmaps. eyeGT allows definition of buttons, animations, hierarchical containers, color and special effects.
