About a year ago there was a lot of buzz about Flash player 11 and the new 3D engine they were rolling out. Recently though I haven't heard much about it.
Do you think it's possible Flash is on the verge of a comeback?

Flash is dead. This is coming from a (now former) Flash dev/designer.

Apple, very effectively, killed Flash (and a lot of companies and careers).
Until someone kills Apple, it is dead.
- that's like saying apple killed the heroin market and career. lolpango
- ALL Apple did was create a device that didn't support it.monospaced

Boz may need to find new ways to spice up the bedroom.

Adobe stopped working on Flash player for Android, iPads are selling like crazy. If we are really entering a post-pc era and the post-pc devices don't have Flash I don't see comeback happening.

Mehh it's a flashback not comeback.

I don't think we're entering a post pc market but the damage is done. When Adobe stopped developing Flash for mobile it was the white flag. I just wish there was an HTML5 equivalent because nothing comes close to the creative control Flash offers, and not even close.

fuck protectionist platforms intentionally designed to break down after two years, fuck having 200 different kind of laptop adapters , fuck having no USB ports for cashing in on memory so fuck apple most of all. open source hardware is the future, and guess which type of programs will be running on them
- no usb port? when did that happened? open source hardware? android would disagree.pango
- and fuck you for wanting shitty hardware and bad designmonospaced

- Funny to say 'I believe in Flash' when the piece that could have been made in Flash isn't itself made in Flash...
Or did I missed the irony?iGin

It's taken them long enough but FINALLY Adobe has stopped chasing Web 2.0 apps and mobile apps with the Flash runtime and decided to focus on what it can actually do well, games.
If you're a Flash developer then I'd get learning Unity right now.

It can export to Flash stage3D and their examples so far are blowing anything Adobe has shown completely out of the water. The Flash IDE is now dead for anything other than banners and animating My Little Pony (that must be a world of hurt).
