WebDU 2010: Flash highlights

Adobe were a little self aware post Steve Jobs anti Flash rant but not defensive at this year’s webDU conference. Why? Because Flash continues to improve and there are few haters in the webDU crowd. Gone was the spiel about the quick uptake of flash and flash penetration in the market place. The emphasis this year was on performance improvements in Flash beta 10.1.

Flash 10.1 beta talking points:

  • touch apis
  • improved audio support
  • performance improvements
  • Flash mobile applications run on various platforms and devices.
