Apart from announcing the discontinuation of the Flash Player browser plugin development for mobile devices, Adobe announced its intention to donate the Flex SDK to the Apache Software Foundation. While the former, although perceived by the tech community as the demise of Flash, was seen by many Flash developers as a better use of Adobe resources.
