Flex/Flash Builder will soon be the easiest way to develop mobile apps

OpenPlug just released the latest beta version of their ELIPS Studio, which adds Android support. Currently ELIPS Studio is Windows only but in a month they will add OS X support, yay!

The latest version of ELIPS Studio has just been released. It brings the ability for developers to create native mobile apps in ActionScript and Flex for mobile devices running Google’s Android platform.

With this new release, developers can now address all major smartphone platforms (iPhone, Android, Symbian, Windows Mobile) from a single code base using powerful web 2.0 languages and technologies from Adobe.

The next version of ELIPS Studio will bring the support of MacOSX as desktop development platform.

If I were Adobe I’d buy French OpenPlug toute suite and turn ELIPSE studio into AIR Mobile (or Mobile AIR).

    When I first saw Elips, I was very impressed with their concept. However, after digging through their forums a bit, it seems that they do not seem to understand the potential of their product, and are unwilling/unable to provide full support for the basic features in Flash player. For instance, people were asking about supporting rotation. The response was ‘Why would you want to do that?. Ditto for other features one would expect to be supported. Their reason for not supporting matrices was that it was too difficult to do. It seems they see AS3 as merely a way to script in pre-baked UI components. Kinda misses the point.
