been reviewing my technical strategy this weekend and give Oracle is on the move now I'm going to be looking at their 'Avatar' project. Please can we get a clear statement of policy on a) mobile b) flex in the browser and c) air? First, imagine you are a mobile phone manufacturer, say Samsung. If you read this announcement you will immediately stop efforts to integrate flash into your product whether through browser or AIR. Second, imagine you are an enterprise wanting to develop a web application, any web application. You will not choose Flex, Flash or AIR becaue you will need to develop a second version for any mobile clients, and you will be wary of reduced advancement of the "desktop" offering since html5 is now the preferred platform. Third, imagine you are a flex developer and you think through the first and second points from above. You would be crazy to invest time and money into developing anything in Flex. As a consultant you will be thrown out of the room if suggesting a flex solution to an enterprise for anything other than a quick hit. Am I missing something or does this mean Flash is DEAD? Yes, HTML5 is a long way from being able to supply the rich application development tools that Flex has but who in their right mind would invest time and money in a flash now? And what value is open source that compiles stuff for a runtime that is not on devices?
