Adobe has posted a white paper on their view of the Flex road map, I recommend everyone that uses Flex and FlashBuilder go and spend a little time reading it.

Here’s the link

Yup they announced the winner, I think I’m OK with it other than I don’t like the way they did the word Flex, that part to me looks rather inconsistent.

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.
