HTML5 not as good as native for Mobile

Mark Zuckerberg has released statements stating that they had to rebuild their app in native for iOS and now they are redeveloping their android app to be native due to the massive overheads HTML5 was causing in their app. There are also reports that apple are restricting some javascript speed/functionality due to 'security concerns' which sounds quite bogus. This is a move to keep native apps as the priority method of delivering both products to customers and profits to apple.

Adobe Roadmap for Flash 2012

Adobe has released a roadmap for Flash runtimes for 2012. This should calm the naysayers and hopefully people will be a bit more educated on this topic - instead of the usual "Flash is dead" mantra :-)

The basic premise of this is that Adobe are going to focus the future development of Flash on games (web and mobile) and video. They are offering increased hardware acceleration in Flash Player 11.2. A big focus for them is Air development for iOS and Android.

They are also going to be updating Actionscript 3 - this will be called Actionscript "Next" - this will be a smaller change than the change from AS2 to AS3. Let's see what they can offer in this regard.
