Adobe Edge is a web development tool developed by Adobe Systems that uses HTML5, Javascript, and CSS3 functionality. It is currently in development and available as a preview via Adobe Labs.[1]
Apple’s Safari browser on the iOS platform does not support browser plug-ins, including Adobe's Flash plugin. For five months in 2010,[2] Apple also temporarily banned apps built using Flash from the iOS App Store, although it reversed that decision in September 2010. In October 2010, Apple ceased bundling the Flash player software with Mac OS X, leaving users to download it if they chose. Apple claims that Flash, a development platform in its own right, undermines the user-experience of Apple products, needlessly creates security flaws, and has never been demonstrated working well on mobile platforms. Many vendors and websites have chosen to follow suit, including Microsoft, which has not included Flash on its Windows Phone 7.
Adobe Edge supports several easing features.[3]
On August 1, 2011, Adobe announced the development of Edge as a new multimedia authoring tool to succeed the Flash platform for browser-delivered content, and released a preview version of the software. Edge builds applications based on a foundation of HTML5, Javascript, and CSS3. These applications are compatible with iOS, Windows Phone 7 and other HTML5-compatible browsers.
On November 9, 2011, Adobe announced[4] that, it will no longer develop Flash for mobile browsers, and is planning on developing new products with more open technologies and standards like HTML5, JavaScript and CSS3. Flash and Adobe AIR will continue to support development of native apps (which do not run in a browser) on mobile platforms.
Edge was released to Adobe Labs in August 2011, and was downloaded 50,000 times in the first 24 hours after going online. [5]
