Rounding Up An Eventful Week
Adobe Flex & Adobe AIR
Adobe AIR has now been installed over 200 million times.

Adobe Flash on Apple iPhone At Last?
Someone once wrote that Apple has said ‘no’ more times than a virtuous teen. Be it banning iPhone apps for non-reasons or disallowing Flash to get its foot in, Apple didn’t seem to think twice.
