Either get it on there or it's going to be Javascript and html5 or 8 out of 10 projects will be using javascript and html5 solutions, while Adobe goes down... Flex is Dead if Flash is dead. Don't be fooled, you would be going down the wrong path in your development career if you relied on flash right now. Totally limiting your opportunities in delivering cross platform applications with little outside assistance. What happened to exporting apps into iPhone apps? Wasn't that one of the main highlights of Flash Builder previews? Export your Flex/ AIR apps to iPhone? I tried searching their highlights page and found nothing searching for iPhone? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
