Well... let's see. Adobe has had:
HTML5 Converter for Adobe Captivate 5.5
Muse
Wallaby
Edge
Digital Publishing Suite for InDesign CS5+
Amongst other projects, all of them take Flash stuff into HTML5. It hasn't been a good ride for Flash on mobile devices. So this move, while seemingly confirming that Steve Jobs was right, means that Flash honestly has had a very good run but will be moving to desktop in a way that most do not seem to appreciate - Flash/Flex, AIR have moved to native code execution and deployment on iOS, Android and Blackberry as well as OS X, Windows and Linux.
With their purchase of PhoneGap, they have a way to bridge from AS3, JavaScript, HTML and whatnot to mobile devices as well.
So it means that I have to learn how to edit my output, but I'll have the same tools from a company I've used for over 19 years.
Oh well...
