Hi Alex, One very important thing I have to point out: The hardware of the mobile devices are improving rapidly, way faster than the way of the desktop devices do. In China, there are already millions of Android phones with 2GB RAM + 4 Core CPU, under the price of $100, and I just bought a 2GB

Hi Erik, Thanks for the list. I think this is a valuable discussion. I'm going to respond out of order: hopefully the easiest answers first. Then at the end is more of my continually evolving thoughts on FlexJS that may be hard to capture from the slides. First, keep in mind that one of the Fl

I'm sure Alex is composing a longer response, but I wanted to chime in having developed a number of beads and components of FlexJS. FlexJS is designed to be a pay-as-go system, keeping the app size as small as possible; even a small Flex app brings in a lot of code. I have to agree that beads
