The idea of Adobe focusing on using Flash to create native apps is a great idea -- and I'll think they'll do well with it. There's an army of folks who know ActionScript who don't want to learn Objective-C, and there are tons of apps which are created for ad agnecies where development speed matters.

- michaelpinto 15y agoWell sadly you don't know if an app is wanted until after you ship it! And while you;re correct that there are many second rate apps, there are also many novelty apps that a niche audience (and it doesn't have to big group of people) craves. For example only a small audience may crave a "Red Bean Ice Cream Finder" but if it's you're favorite flavor you gotta have it...
