Dude, mobile is FUN! For the following reasons:
1. the projects are smaller in scope
2. this reduces scope creep
3. the GUI’s are small and force things to be simple (read: simpler than f’ing desktops which can get complicated quick)

Adobe has really made it simple to do now with Flash Builder 4.5 for Android & iOS (still provision hell for iOS). Corona is fun for games because of simple code, and bad ass physics engine.

The ONLY thing that’s hard is the design; multiple resolutions == ugh.

Regarding HaXe, I’m lazy. If it works, I’ll use it. Flash & Corona work. Once they stop working, I’ll look into HaXe.

As one of those left scared my the Nokia Symbian / J2ME days I am extremely reluctant to get back into the mobile fray. Having said that alot of the things that still keep me up at night about J2ME are no longer there, so perhaps its time to test the waters again.

I know we have spoken about this on Twitter in the past but why not HaXe, in my eyes it has all the benefits of Corona without any of the negatives. The community is very active and vibrant too with the platform constantly evolving. If there isnt something there you want then the language gives you the freedom to write it yourself.

Life is short, I demand panacea. #gitrdone

Seriously, though, keep up the great work!

Well, I live in Boston, so I am (almost) always here :) If you mean RIA Unleashed – hell yeah I will be there!

I think there’s no need to jump ship from your bread and butter, AIR has a great future for years to come.

At the same time, the “next big thing” is definitely cross-platform compilers, so something like Corona seems right in line with that, just a matter of picking the best one of the few that are out there I suppose…

For me Corona + AIR is looking like a great combo for the next 5 years or so at least…
