Implicatons for Flash now that Adobe has ditched mobile device effort

Wih Adobe abandoning the development of Flash on mobile devices, what implications doe sthis have for the future of Flash in general?

It's true that people would, as you put it, be just guessing as to what's actually going to happen after Adobe's decision to bail in the Flash-mobile device market. Nobody knows absolutely. However, that's not a good reason for putting a lid on it or for never asking the question. Some people are good at guessing about these things (remember Steve Jobs) and, being well informed to boot, they might have an intersting scenario to present. From my superficial understanding of the situation, I can only raise the question so that I might learn more by reading others' responses. Then I will decide for myself as to their credibility.
There are some things I know, even more that I don't know and some things I can guess at with resonable accuracy. For instance, I know the mobile device market is big and getting bigger. Exactly how big I don't know. And, I  am guessing that no Flash on mobile devices might have an effect on Flash's future on non-mobile computers. Because I am a Flash developer -albeit small time- questions like this are important to me. Maybe there are some forum members who are more savvy than I about these business tech matters, more Jobs-like in their adumbrations. No, not maybe, this I know for sure.
Besides, who knows, maybe the sky is falling!
Well... anyone?

  • Are there any good DVD authoring programs for Mac now that Apple has discontinued DVD Studio and iDVD? I need to make DVDs that have interactive menus and such (Final Cut X and Compressor 4's DVD option is a little cheap). Any ideas?

    Are there any good DVD authoring programs for Mac now that Apple has discontinued DVD Studio and iDVD? I need to make DVDs that have interactive menus and such (Final Cut X and Compressor 4's DVD option is a little cheap and doesn't provide any kind of professional DVD authoring). Any ideas?

    This comes up a lot these days.
    Practically speaking, there are really four options for the Mac platform: Toast (<$100),  Adobe Premier Productiom ($1,600 to buy or $50/month to rent),  find a copy of Final Cut Studio from 3rd  party (+/- $1,000 new) or a boxed edition of iLife to get iDVD ($50 - $90 on Amazon new).
    The other question everyone has is how many OS versions before iDVD or FCS breaks? No one knows, but Apple has said they're no longer supporting these legacy apps. Of course, no one is mandated to upgrade to a new OS unless they buy a new computer. So if it works on a system, stay with it as long as it makes sense.
    Good luck.

    You are right, Adobe does not support CS5 because it is no longer sold.
    Simply download the trial version of CS5 from this Adobe web site and input your serial number.

  • Now that iPad has multitasking gestures, why don't they just add a gesture for going back and forward in safari?

    Now that iPad has multitasking gestures, why don't they just add a gesture for going back and forward in safari? Just like in a mac, with the multitouch gestures. The osx Lion got the launchpad idea from the ios, so why don't the ios gets something from osx?

  • Now that iCloud has done away with galleries, how can we share as I did with MobileMe? How can we sync non-Apple email accounts across multiple computers?

    Now that iCloud has done away with galleries, how can we share as I did with MobileMe? How can we sync non-Apple email accounts across multiple computers?

    You will need to find a third party solution for online storage in order to share things like photos with others. Some popular solutions to this are dropbox and sugarsync.
    You cannot sync non-iCloud email accounts across your iOS devices and computers unless they are IMAP accounts like iCloud. If they are IMAP accounts, you will do it in the same way as you have always done.

    I can't open any pdf documents with Adobe Reader XI...get an error that "Adobe has stopped working" then it closes.  Is this an Adobe issue, Microsoft issue, or security issue? 

    Thank you!  That seemed to do the trick.  Don't think I'd ever have figured that one out!!

  • Now that pages has dropped mail merge....where do I go from here?

    Now that Pages has dropped mail merge where do I go from here?

    I think you needed to have pages '09 in it's own folder (usually named iWork '09) when you upgraded to Pages 5.0. Luckily I had. Then the easiest way to edit a document in Pages '09 is to right-click (CTRL Click) it in the finder or on the desktop and select Pges '09 from the context menu.
    Another reason why you'll need Pages 09 is if you need to edit a document created in a version of pages before '09. These won't open in Pages 5.0. (Yes, really. It's almost unbelievable) You have to open them in '09 and then save them. This saves them in Pages '09 format, which can be opend in Pages 5.0.
    Apple makes everything easy for us EXCEPT when we upgrade our OS, or iWork apps!

    Where do i find the $2.00 coupon for the Now that's what I call music 55 and 80's New Wave?

    This is a user-to-user forum; no one from Apple participates. However, what we do know is the tracks in your iTunes library are matched to the tracks that are available (but sometimes not visible for sale) in your "store of record." So, they are matching to tracks in the UK iTunes Store.

    No. The tracks will match, if they do match, to what they match to. We, as users, have no control over the process.

  • When will the Adobe flash player return to all Apple mobile devices?

    I think that Apple should very well eliminate these restrictions by reintroducing the Adobe Flash Player back into all Apple mobile devices sometime this spring or summer.

    Yeah.
    And everybody should be nice to each other beginning Wednesday.
    And no more taxes beginning next year.
    Oh.. and cheap gas by the end of summer.
    Adobe does not make a flash player for iphone.  They never have.
