Has Flash had its day? Has Apple made the right move?
April has been an interesting month in the development world. Just days before Adobe Launched the CS5 suite with the ability to create iPhone/Pad apps directly out of Flash CS5, Apple announced that only certain programming languages could be used to create apps for their mobile products. This doesn’t include Adobe’s CS5 suite. Now Steve Job’s has posted ‘Thoughts on Flash’ here: www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/ to explain the move.
Is the crack in the relationship between Adobe and Apple turning into a separation and divorce? Read the rest of this entry »

Steve Jobs’ Thoughts on Flash…
Interesting read over at Apple, Steve Jobs has come out and stated the reasoning for Apple’s refusal to incorporate Flash into their handheld devices.
It seems to be a very honest article, and there are some good points in there which do give a lot more weight to their argument.

Flash 10.1 – Multi-platform app
Adobe CS5 was launched yesterday (12 April). The crazy awesomeness at what you can now do with it is jaw dropping. Auto rotoscoping is After Effects, content aware filling in Photoshop and the latest version of Flash Player 10.1.
Whilst looking up the cool new features, I came across this Adobe video where one flash application was accessible across desktops and mobile devices. No code changes required! Check it out.

eCommerce – Raising the bar – Sugagloss
Sugagloss, a top end retailer of exclusive adult accessories, underwear and gifts, tasked us with the development of their brand, online strategy and a ground up redesign and build for their eCommerce solution.
Our response was to push the boundaries of what’s possible within an eComm environment, applying offline shopping behaviours within an online environment and developing a fluid, intuitive shopping experience that is truly a digital masterpiece. Built completely in Flash around a massively enhanced Magento backend, it behaves like a designer shoppers dream – and yet with it’s HTML progressive build methodology it ticks all SEO best practice requirements – whilst never for a moment compromising it’s user centric, highly engaging environment.
Speaking of best practice (see our visit from Patrick Collister) – best practice dictates many things from eCommerce – an area where many are too scared to deviate from the norm because it provides a mean level of results and predictable responses. In today’s climate, high street retail is a running battle, with every trick and every stop being pulled to increase footfall and maximise ticket value, so why do we see such banality in online? Because so many are so frightened of trying something new, of opening the doors to disproportional results and leaving behind the well worn ruts of mediocrity. Not so SugaGloss, a client with both vision and confidence in equal measure.
Let us know what you think – good or bad – we’re always open to new thoughts and alternate views.
