Flash is alive and well no thanks to Adobe PR
Despite Adobe’s best efforts to badly communicate with the public yet again, Adobe Flash, AIR and Flex is alive and well. they are only stopping development of the Flash mobile player which really means Android and Motorola web browsers that currently play flash content.
Adobe is focusing more on Flash platform development for the desktop and installed applications, which really means the AIR platform and the packagers for iOS and Android install applications.
There are many stories, blogs and articles around the web but I suggest people actually read the Adobe press releases rather than jump to conclusions from people and sites that are either ill informed or just plain wrong.

Personally, I actually think this is the right thing to do and focus more on application development than trying to optimize the player for web playback on mobile devices.

Adobe has started shipping Creative Suite 5.5
Congratulations to the teams, I really feel this is a solid upgrade that in many ways you could argue should be a solid point release when you look at the work they have done.
You can see a previous post here for some of the highlights in this new release, I whole heartedly recommend it to anyone interested in Mobile, Adobe AIR or HTML5 development.
