    I'm excited for this change.
    I think Adobe never figured out a way to make money from AIR, so development stagnated on it.
    Maybe Harman will figure out a fair pricing model and develop new features and support even more platforms.

    Or maybe they'll take the tech in a direction that we don't want. Who knows?
    I guess I'll just wait and see what happens.

      I was anticipating an end of life announcement.  So this is a great thing.

      The world really does does need to realize how good this platform is.

      Perfect example. I have 3 co-op students working on an iOS prototype right now. I was able to build in 3 days what will take them 2 weeks....  and mine works on Android as an added bonus.

        Exactly. Super quick deployment. And as phone specs get faster, performance issues become less important. Adobe is bailing on this at exactly the wrong time.

        I think this is a good thing. 

        Now instead of 2 employees from adobe spending their spare time at lunch working on it... Maybe HARMAN will have an actual team working on it.

        Can only go up from here. 

        Its a a very strange move tho. I‘m really disappointed in Adobe here. They say they are committed to the developer but they are not.

          Might be the last nail in the coffin. Or not?

          This news is hitting the net now.
