Flash was created during the PC era – for PCs and mice. … But the mobile era is about low power devices, touch interfaces and open web standards – all areas where Flash falls short.

Steve Jobs: Thoughts on Flash (via marco) (via pete3)

Obviously, this article was tough for me—a Flash developer—to read, but I highly encourage all Flash developers out there to read it and take it to heart.

I don’t want to be one of those people that gets left behind because I was too stubborn to open my eyes and see what was going on around me. The problem is this: I work for a company where Flash is kind of our bread and butter. We do a lot of interactive e-learning stuff for some pretty big-name clients and Flash just seems to be the best way to do that kind of thing.

Of course we’ve been dying to dip our toes into the mobile devices pool, and yeah, we were hoping that CS5 was going to help us in that endeavor, but maybe the latest developments (I’ve been calling it ‘Operation Flash Developer Heartbreak 2010’) will help push us into the mobile era.
