skelly_b, I hear you.. I personally don't think that's going to be the case because this is a new market and Adobe is well aware that they have to innovate to keep the market dominance or they will indeed lose their audience.
On the other hand, let's be objective here.. I get JS and frameworks you are talking about. I'm excited about Jquery mobile too, but the fact is that JS hasn't really progressed that much and much much slower. It took them 10 years to come out with Jquery and so on and that's because browsers didn't innovate. RIght now we have browser competition so I'm guessing it will go a bit faster but if you do compare the two (AS and JS) Actionscript, Flash in general has advanced much faster and offered us things that even with HTML5 we won't have (such as direct access to microphone and camera or a few other things).
I think, the community and the fact that one company is behind it, will make AIR for mobile devices grow much faster and keep up with all the new APIs that come out.
