adobe can keep flash relevant, by not being such cry babies about apple and it's business, and focusing more on innovating with their curent offerings.
i can't comment on their potential relevance in the mobile market, because i don't know what kind of demand there is for their technology. yes, they *can* make the runtime more efficient, but that doesn't necessitate it's use on such platforms.
anyway, they need to start educating everyone about what their product really is, and what it offers. too many people, particularly outside developers or designers with casual or no knowledge make too many assumptions about the technology and as i've mentioned before see it as a competitor to html5. that's naive, but probably not their fault as we all only know what we hear and read regarding things we have only had limited exposure to. anyway, adobe also needs to answer the call of the many developers that have been requesting a vast array of features for some time now. i don't really use flash that much anymore, but i remember it being too limiting in so many areas, and there being a large consensus on my feelings throughout the net, with some of those thoughts expressed as comments on the blogs of flash 'evangelists'. if adobe doesn't deliver what thier paying customer base asks for, then they deserve whatever miserable fate awaits them.
true story bro.
