// Commented Out

In case you’ve grown accus­tomed to the cool damp­ness of the under­side of a rock, you’ve heard the news. AIR Mobile for Android has been announced, bring­ing Flash to even more devices in the future. With the already immi­nent release of Flash Player 10.1 on mobile devices, and Flash CS5’s back door into the iPhone App Store, it’s hard to deny the poten­tial effects on our com­put­ing habits in the future.

Well, it’s that time of year again. The time for us all to wager on what we think will be unveiled at MAX. A few peo­ple have already weighed in, but the one thing I haven’t seen guessed at yet (prob­a­bly because the like­li­hood is low) is the announce­ment of a Flash Plat­form Suite.

This is all in pure fun, of course. We have no idea if any such options will ever become com­mer­cially avail­able. So, with that dis­claimer out of the way, let’s spec­u­late!

Over the last few years as a Flash Devel­oper, I’ve noticed some­thing. Flash isn’t what it used to be. Back in the days of Stu­dio MX, when I first encoun­tered Flash, it was the Wild West of inter­ac­tive devel­op­ment. Much of that had to do with it’s label­ing as a “fad” and the fact that it was the only real IDE that could write small and com­pelling inter­ac­tive con­tent for the web.  Read the rest of this entry →

I was kind of in the mid­dle of decid­ing how I was going to design/publish/host my blog (had been for years) but I finally found some­thing that made me really want to write. So, with the dis­claimer of this being my first FULL blog post and the design being a lit­tle rough right now, let’s get on with it.
