Adobe Max Day 1
Flex, iPhone, CFML, Actionscript, AdobeWell MAX is definatly bigger then I initially thought. It was the biggest turn out at any MAX event topping 5000 attendees. The opening session was full of Flash and the recent Flash 10 release ( including many mentions of AIR 1.5 ) and even included a visit from Arnie’s wife Maria Shriver ( First Lady of California ). Strangely absent was any news of ColdFusion although Flash being Adobe ‘s best known product ( other then Acrobat ) its not surprising that’s what they focused on.
I was almost sad as they talked about Flash on the iPhone ( as I just got a new Blackberry ) and while they say they don’t have it yet I highly doubt Adobe haven’t done there part and actually have it running on the device.
I was impressed with the CF un-conference and got to meet, in person Ben Forta, Ray Camden, Sean Corfield and Brian Meloche.
I finished the night with the Meet the CF team and the CMFL BoF’s which was great to meet the team and hear Ben give away some hint’s relating to CF9. Not really hints but anything cool he refused to answer I took as a hint ? It was great to hear Gert from Railo and other members of the committee discuss the standardisation of core cfml functions as choice gives freedom and I hope the 2 big open source CFML engines ( Railo and Open Blue Dragon ) can help promote cfml as a alternative to php.
I’m really looking forward to tomorrow key notes with Ben regarding Centaur.
Oh and I got this neat CF shirt.

iPhone and Flash again
Flex, iPhone
As I will shortly be in the market for a new phone the re-emerging rumours of flash on the iPhone sound good to me. I've heard some criticism about the iPhone but I still feel that I want one regardless of the issues and hearing more about Adobe and Apple working on a solution gets my hopes up.

At the moment I'm not really sure what other phones I should be looking at but hope within the next few weeks I hope to make a decision. Fingers crossed Adobe and Apple work this one out sooner rather then later.
