I’ve been doing a lot of digging around in PhoneGap lately. This dovetails nicely with my Edge Animate and Edge Reflow work – but I also see it as an extension of my work with Adobe AIR and Flash Player on mobile. One of the interesting things about working in web technologies with modern browsers …

So, basically – here is what is happening: Adobe is halting development on the mobile web browser version of Flash Player for Android. This effectively places Android on the same level as iOS so far as Flash Player goes for the future. They are doing this as part of a massive reorg to shift resources …
It’s been an uphill battle since “Thoughts on Flash” and this year things were finally leveling off. I was getting buy-in from important pockets of my organization and now Adobe’s message has utterly annihilated all the work I’ve done putting mobile Flash in a positive light.

My book just became available for preorder over at the Packt Publishing website. Not only can you preorder “Flash Development for Android Cookbook“, but it is also being included in the RAW program. This means that even though the book is not yet finished (still in draft stage, really) you can preorder the eBook or …
UPDATES BELOW… Since the documentation over at the BlackBerry developer site isn’t exactly crystal… I’m going to share my code signing experience here in the hopes of sharing some information and perhaps helping others along. This is not a comprehensive overview; just my experience. I have 3 AIR based PlayBook applications approved up in AppWorld …
Happy to report that two of the applications I ported to the BlackBerry PlayBook have been approved! Granted, it took almost 6 weeks for approval to take place, but this should give a little more hope to those developers who haven’t heard anything from RIM since submitting to AppWorld. Especially those aiming to get a …
