以上ADOBE的走向讓人不禁想到蘋果的App Store營運模式,在Adroid,window mobile, symbian手機系統上可以共通的播放程式就是flash player,廣大用戶便可以依自己需求去下載所需要應用程式.

另外有ADOBE內部消息指出flash player 10 for smartphones bata版即將在今年的2009 max大會釋出,未來會陸續釋出Adobe AIR for devices,基本上Adobe AIR for devices 是跟Mobile Packager 比較相似,那麼未來flash Lite的走向呢?這點令人覺得質疑,目前沒有聽到任何計畫,不過這樣的訊息應該至少是告訴我們,快去學習as3.0跟AIR怎麼使用吧~^_^
