Apple OKs app bringing Flash to iPad and iPhone (v3.co.uk)

No, Apple approves an app that pre-processes and converts Flash content on the server and delivers nothing but html-friendly content to the client, displaying it in an embedded browser.

It's not even the interesting case of a Flash runtime standalone app being approved, let alone the browser plugin that would be needed to 'support Flash content' in any reasonable sense.

(Also, as the article notes, it obviously doesn't work at all for interactive Flash content, either. It sounds like a glorified flv->mp4 service.)
