After writing this very lengthy comment on Brother Chuck Freeman’s (@ChuckStar) blog post responding to Brother Kevin Suttle’s (@kevinSuttle) excelent blog post regarding AIR and Mobile devices, I thought I should really post here on my own blog and #keeptheblogchainalive as Kevin says. There are a great deal of questions regarding AIR and Mobile devices, and I have had a few rolling around in my brain for some time. Be sure to read Kevin’s post then Chuck’s post, and you’ll get all the context.

Adobe is pushing mobile devices in great new directions. First announced was Flash Player 10.1 concept on devices, then the iPhone packager with the upcoming CS5. But today, Adobe goes one step further with building AIR for Android devices (and quite probably more).

Last night I updated the layout and look of this blog. As someone who tries to focus on usability as best as possible (my writings aside), I strove to make this blog the best and easiest to use as I possibly could. Right now, it is rather basic in the design look and feel. No pretty pictures, no extra design, just straight forward reading. Boring, sure. I plan on adding some visual elements in the near future, but for now, just content.
Also, I love to hear constructive criticism. If you see anything that you feel could be improved, by all means leave a comment.
Thanks.

Like a lot of people I’ve been pretty excited about Flash Player 10.1 on hand held and touch devices. The fact that I could use the same websites and play the same games on a mobile device that I can on my laptop sounds just plain awesome.
But there’s a dark reality that most people haven’t quite thought about (well maybe they have but I haven’t found it to read yet), and something I just keep forgetting.
Garth Braithwaite (@GarthDB) reminded me of this fact during a conversation on twitter. He said, “Flash 10.1 is not going to be develop once/deploy everywhere like people expect.” We were speaking in terms of video on mobile devices and how well it may or may not perform.
This statement sort of kicked me in the side of the head and got my brain running about possible issues of interactive sites that may run on mobile devices in the future. (more…)
