Adobe launches Connect Pro Mobile for iPhone, iPod

updated 12:25 pm EST, Thu February 25, 2010

First Adobe-made app built with Packager

Adobe has released Connect Pro Mobile, a new title for the iPhone and iPod touch. The app serves as an extension of Connect Pro, the company's enterprise-level web conferencing platform. Users can correspondingly participate in company meetings using chat, a regular conference call or VoIP technology.

VoIP operates over both Wi-Fi and 3G networks. The app also lists all hosts, presenters and attendees during a meeting, and is able to display any screenshares, presentations, PDFs or videos made available. Supported video formats include live webcam feeds; content views can be rotated, panned or zoomed as necessary to produce the best fit.

Connect Pro Mobile is a free download from the App Store, but is dependent on an organization paying for a Connect Pro subscription. Monthly, annual, pay-per-minute and several specialized arrangements are available. Adobe notes that Mobile is also its first in-house app built with Packager for iPhone. The tool has yet to become commercially available, but is already in the hands of third-party outfits such as Wired.

Maybe an iPad version, too?

This app would seem to lend itself even better to the iPad, especially if it can screenshare iWork stuff running on it, and also pickup the rumored user-facing camera image.

I think Adobe is wise to develop Packager to allow Flash developers to create iPhone OS apps.
