Comments on: Adobe Flex for MV GUI http://nebula-rnd.com/blog/tech/2009/02/flex01.html Welcome to the Nebula Tue, 27 Mar 2012 23:52:17 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1 By: Tony Gravagno http://nebula-rnd.com/blog/tech/2009/02/flex01.html/comment-page-1#comment-316 Tony Gravagno Fri, 06 Feb 2009 20:01:36 +0000 http://Nebula-RnD.com/blog/tech/2009/02/flex01.html#comment-316 Even given those links, there is a question about just how much can be done with Flash on a mobile device. More important is the question about whether Flex and RIA (business applications) can be deployed over mobile now or in the near future. Note the distinction between Flex and Flash in the blog/article - they both happen to deploy with the Flash plugin, but does Flash-Lite also support Flex? I have no clue. Given the lack of response to my blogs on PDA development I'm not sure how many people are even interested in mobile devices, so I won't be doing any research on Flash/Mobile unless there is a business case. If someone has verified recent information about related details, please post here or email. Even given those links, there is a question about just how much can be done with Flash on a mobile device.

These tools are sooo close in design. The choice is probably more a matter of comfort more than anything. Another colleague tells me he won't ever touch SL. Great. As long as people are adding value and selling their MV apps, I don't care what they're using.
