Oren Mashkovski, Mysh and JP Vine recently formed a venture together, called The Missing Link. They didn’t waste any time getting their first project off the ground – a promo for an iPhone app. WorldMate “takes the pain out of your business travel,” and this Flash-animated video takes the piss out of other, less useful iPhone apps.

It’s no secret that owning an iPhone makes you smarter, taller, more interesting and, well…. a little annoying. Okay, we’re all just jealous, but that doesn’t make this Flash-animated short any less funny. Cell Phone Reunion, a Collegehumor.com original, was written by Sam Reich and Mike Parker who also handled the animation.

We may never know if Flash will be available on the iPhone. Steve Jobs thinks it’s too slow. While we await that official announcement from Adobe and Apple, enjoy this iPhone app that was created with Flash. The team at Tui Studios employed the software to create the prototype, the storyboards and the animation (along with Anime Studio). Little Bella’s: I Close My Eyes, which was created by Jonathan Dower, incorporates solid, interactive animation into short reading and learning exercises – all aimed at kids 3-9.

Adobe’s plans to create a Flash player for Apple’s iPhone and iPod touch have been announced. In Ben Charny’s article at the Wall Street Journal, he confirmed that Adobe’s CEO Shantanu Narayen has approved his company’s effort to create a version of Flash Lite for the iPhone using the iPhone SDK. This doesn’t mean that the Safari browser for the iPhone will allow Flash content, but who knows what the future holds.

Thanks to Larry Rains for the story tip.

**** UPDATE ****

Seems like Adobe has their work cut out for them.
