With the acquisition of PhoneGap, Adobe clearly communicated the direction they are going. This began when Adobe was finally forced to admit that Flash wasn't ever going to be in the iPhone/iPad and Flex/Flash apps wouldn't be running in the browser on iOS. At the first MAX after the iPhone came out, Adobe teased us that "they were working on it" regarding Flash on the iPhone. They implied very strongly that it was coming. That was the first of many lies and acts of dishonesty we've seen from Adobe regarding Flash's future. Flash has been a cash cow for Adobe for a long time. Trust me, they have been freaking out for years as they slowly realized that if Flash won't run on iOS it's dead. Dead. DEAD. You can talk all day long about corporate enterprises that can deploy Flex apps in a browser across the company, but if it won't run on the iPhone, there is no way that product (Flex) is going to survive. Adobe's known this for years and has continued blowing smoke up our collective a$$es about Flash and Flex's future. ...and don't get me wrong, I am not blaming the evangelists. This dishonesty came from the top. Unfortunately, I think that "Open Sourcing" is a euphemism for "Total Abandonment". I hate seeing this happen, but HTML5 is the future on phones, and mobile leads. -Cameron -- Cameron Childress -- p: 678.637.5072 im: cameroncf facebook <http://www.facebook.com/cameroncf> | twitter<http://twitter.com/cameronc> | google+ <https://profiles.google.com/u/0/117829379451708140985>
