Noise around Adobe and Flash/Flex future

Hello fellows! After I a long vacation finally I am back now and ready for new challenges! :)

As you may know last weeks there were a lot of talks about Adobe's decision to stop Adobe Flash player development for mobile devices. Plus, Adobe announced intention to donate Flex framework to the community via Apache Software Foundation. So, Adobe Flex 4.6 is the last version that was developed by Adobe itself.

Many people cry that  Adobe kills Flash and Flex platform with that decision. But it's absolutely not true! In fact Adobe Flash player on mobile devices wasn't very good and most of the users didn't use it. So there is really nothing bad to stop development Flash Player for mobile devices.
What about Flex framework? Well, I am sure that Flex community (which is quite active and skilled) will be able to continue Flex framework development and enrich it with new cool features.
