Why Adobe dont want support for ArmV6 if there are many devices with these?

Many people use Android devices with ARMv6 like: Galaxy ace, Motorola Defy, Galaxy y, LG Optimus One, etc, ect. I think that therea are more with ARMv6 that ARMv7 check: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1596800
This link you can see the top 10 of the most common devices Android and the 3th is galaxy ace one devices with ARMv6.

My Adobe friends. This is true. The big problem that have Adobe Air as framework for develop mobile Aplications is that, if you realy want that Adobe Air be truly one standard for the community, you need cover all devices, no some, otherwise Adobe Air will continue every day more in oblivion.
If we as developer choosing Adobe AIR as platform to build mobile apps even as simple as "Hello World" or bank aplications, school aplications, enterprices aplications, there are a huge percentage of Android user cant run it. Which means our apps is going to losing millions or billions of potential customer because of chosing Adobe AIR.
Another thing. Unity, Sencha, Titanium, etc, etc, etc have support to ARMv6 why Adobe don't want support these devices? - This causes only one result: the people will have to resign from adobe AIR mobile technology.
I hope that Adobe understand and bring AIR support on all those lower performance device (ARMv6) especially those new ARMv6 device.

To play devil's advocate:
* The 3rd most popular phone you mention (Galaxy Ace) was released in Feb 2011. I'd say it's falling out of that chart fast.
* Motorola Defy was released October 2010. Galaxy Y, October 2011. LG Optimus one, October 2010. If the flagship phones for the architecture are 2+ years old, it doesn't speak much for its market penetration.
* Unity doesn't support ARMv6. As far back as 2011 they announced they'd focus on v7, and whatever support v6 might have is very limited. (Source)
While I'm sure there's a place in the current market for armv6, it's something that's already legacy and it's going away fast. Not sure it makes sense to spend resources on that. "You need cover all devices" stops making sense when the effort necessary exceeds the returns. I don't see any "new" ARMv6 devices coming out either.
ARMv6 is dying or dead, depending on how you look at it. It'd make much more sense to support a platform that has new high-end devices coming out (x86).
If you as a developer absolutely need to support those old, low-end devices, using a simple framework like PhoneGap is a better solution.

  • To Bentley Wolfe, Adobe, re: Locked [ADOBE FYI] : Getting Support for Flash Player 10 and Issue Tracking post

    Hi Bentley,
    I wanted to tell you that an important link you posted does
    not work and says "Sorry, this page is not available".
    It is in your post entitled "Locked [ADOBE FYI] : Getting
    Support for Flash Player 10 and Issue Tracking post", and is at
    http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfmforumid=44&catid=184&threadid= 1400586&enterthread=y.
    The link that is non-functional is "If you have issues
    installing Flash Player 10, first troubleshoot your issues using
    http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer.
    Read the technotes, do some testing.".
    I just wanted you to know, since you have gone to all of the
    effort of posting it. I apologize for having to start a new thread,
    but I was unable to post to your thread, since it is locked and
    read-only.
    This is the issue I am dealing with myself, and desperately
    need help with. :)
    Thank you so very much,

    Hi Bentley,
    I just noticed something. The link that I pasted, to your
    post, does not work either. I noticed why, however, and it seems to
    be why the link in your original page does not work, and why the
    link in my post that goes to your post does not work.
    It seems to be that if a link has a period after it (i.e., if
    it is at the end of a sentence), the period is incorrectly included
    in the "real" link. Somehow, whatever mechanism that processes the
    post has a mini bug in it.
    If you go to the link that is results in "Sorry, this page is
    not available", and look up into the browser address bar, you will
    see the period there each time.
    I just thought that I would point this out, too, so that the
    web techs in charge of the workings of the forums could look into
    it.
    Here is the original link, without a period after it, to your
    original page.

    Enhanced support for CSS3 in Dreamweaver CS5.5
    This blog post takes you through using box shadow, text shadow, border radius, and border image properties in Dreamweaver CS5.5.

    No need to apologize. Preprocessing is a topic on which there are differing opinions. You have one. I have one. There are advocates:
    http://blog.urbaninsight.com/2012/04/12/ten-reasons-you-should-be-using-css-preprocessor
    There are those who are not sold:
    http://blog.millermedeiros.com/the-problem-with-css-pre-processors/
    http://www.skybondsor.com/blog/css-preprocessors
    There are those mostly sold:
    http://css-tricks.com/musings-on-preprocessing/
    There are even those who have been converted (but who might reverse at some later point):
    http://cognition.happycog.com/article/preprocess-this
    Heck, even I might be converted someday - or not
    Bottom line for me, right now? I know I can write CSS that is better than most, more efficient than most, and easier to follow than most, and a preprocessor would add unwanted complexity. But that's for me. For someone not able to be organized intutively, or for a large - but carefully coordinated - team, a preprocessor could be a positive.
    But not for me.
    There are evolving trends - popular aspects of the technology that may and should find themselves being adapted into CSS. But I've been around this business as long as CSS has. I've seen buzzwords and trends and I've historically been spot-on in predicting the one that will stick. I think preprocessing will stick - but only insofar as it will be a catalyst for features in future versions of CSS. As a separate technology it makes no sense - to me

    You tell me.  They are there and it will not let you purchase? or they simply do not sell them?
    If they do not sell them, then this is why you cannot buy them.

  • Hey everyone! i have a external hardrive i keep my itunes library of songs on and it wont sync with my ipod touch inless i copy and paste it into my ipod device when thats conected. i dont want all the songs on there only checked ones. help plz!!

    im having trouble with syncing my ipod touch with my itunes library that i keep on a external hardrive. when i plug up my external hardrive that has all my songs on it, it doesn't sync to my ipod correctly. i have to copy and paste the songs to my ipod device when its connected. i dont want all the songs on there and i want to be able to manually control whats on my ipod. and id like to take some songs off of the ipod also but i want them still in my itunes library though. i usually check the songs i want on the ipod but it isnt working that way maybe because its a external hardrive?? i never had a problem with past ipods with my library on itunes but i ran out of space on my computer and had to transfer all of the songs to my external hardrive. please someone help me!! i thought it would be simple! but it isnt the case! i plug up my hardrive then my ipod, i press sync and nothing gets transfered unless i copy and paste them to the ipod. even though it says ipod syncing in progress! this is really confusing! please help me!! sorry if this is jumbled up and confusing..

    Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
    As IO said before:
    You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    I do not think it included audio books.

    That's exactly what you need. A Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter and a HDMI cable. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4241?viewlocale=en_US
    This is the only way to view a video on the TV. After connecting your MacBook Air to the TV, image on your TV should show immediately. Then, press Command and F1 keys to mirror your MacBook Air display, and open the video

    Hi,
    Unfortunately I already tried all kinds of re-installs (the full list is in my original message). The only one remaining is the reinstall of Windows 8 itself, which I would really like to avoid.
    What I find really strange is the time it takes for the above error message to appear. It's like one hour or even more (never measured exactly, I left the computer running).
    What kind of a timeout is that? I would expect that, if ports are really used by some other application, I get the message in less than a minute (seconds, actually). To me this looks like the emulator itself for some reason believes there's a problem with
    some port while in reality there isn't.
    I'll eventually contact Microsoft Support, thanks for the suggestion.
