Adobe faces competition from Microsoft and others….but Lynch says the future for Flash, looks pretty bright..expanding into new devices…
"There's a couple of areas. One is Flash moving from being primarily on personal computers to also on mobile phones and other consumer electronics. And we've been working with device manufacturers and operators around the world to deliver the Flash experience on mobile devices and that's beginning to happen now, starting in Japan and Europe and coming to the U.S. pretty soon. And that's really transforming the mobile experience much like Flash did on the PC. And the second area is Flash is being used for application development now."
