While we still believe HTML/JS developers have lapped Adobe and flash in terms of efficiency and delivery viewports, this video from Adobe shows a glimmer of hope. This prototype “Wallaby” application converts Flash to HTML5, keeping animations and graphics, but losing some things like blending modes and other fancy special effects. Hmm… Very Interesting!

A start for Adobe. We’ll probably have to wait until CS6 to see this implemented. We also speculate that this is a re-working of the previously anticipated Flash to App converter that was to be part of the CS5 suite (now available since Apple lifted third party bans on dev). Can we beta Wallaby? It might be energizing to see old flash projects on my iPhone.

Mashable has released a story today that we have been waiting on for over 2 years. We first read (and watched) about flexible display technology a few years ago while investigating technologies for various user interface projects. We wanted a way to make any surface touch screen, like the mirror in your bathroom perhaps.

Displax has reportedly developed a multi-touch film that can be put on any non-metal surface. It responds to touch and air flow. Up to 16 points can be registered at one time. Nice!

This has huge potential in everything from coffee shops, to schools, to offices and designers. Speaking of designers, and the little boxes we use to make stuff, Google predicted last year that the idea of a desktop computer would soon phase into a more ubitquitus technology that could be integrated into your office or home. The problem was, and always is, the technology is a few years behind.

Adobe has had more trouble than ever with keeping up with the needs of creative types and, because of their pricey bundles, pirates for that matter. Their interfaces are deigned for these 16×9 boxes, and screen real-estate is shrinking. If Adobe was smart, they would sell more licenses at a smaller price, and take advantage of these new technologies that will turn small space, into infinite space.

I can just imagine going to Ikea and seeing a swiss designed multi-touch work table for sale with tilt and slide action.
