Adobe Flash Lite Will Die
Don't panic, it's a natural evolution of the Flash Platform on Mobile. Adobe strategy is to enable Flash Player 10.X in all new devices, and use the powerful Actionscript 3 language to develop content for mobile.
Older phones will continue to run Flash Lite and you will be able to target them.
Follow Mark Doherty best advices:
* Set yourself achievable goals for learning this new language
* Create a sample project, one that you can get excited about and share
* Keep communicating your thoughts and experiences, we can all learn together
Flash vs Qt: The next battle?
Both Qt and Flash platform have something in common: a cross-platform runtime environment.
IMHO, Qt could be a Flash killer in the near future.
Adobe introduced Adobe AIR on March, 2007, to provide a cross-platform runtime environment for building rich Internet applications using Adobe Flash, Adobe Flex, HTML, or Ajax, that can be deployed as a desktop application and maybe mobile.
While Adobe AIR developers can benefit of using Adobe Flash, Adobe Flex, HTML, or Ajax skills to build applications that deploy to the desktop, Qt developers benefits from a successful open source framework, with high performance on embedded, mobile and desktop.
There are some rumors of Adobe Air to mobile phones that could bring ActionScript 3.0, the current robust OOP programming language of Flash to mobile phones but the question is: Will Adobe be able to deliver AIR runtime to mobile phones with the same performance achieved by the trolls?
...and...
Will trolls be able to maintain Qt flexible and scalable with so many deliveries (Maemo, Symbian, Windows, ...)?
It's my point of view, please, comment if you have any ideas or feedback about this.

Bossa Conference 2009 Videos
Para quem estiver interessado, acabo de encontrar os vídeos do Bossa Conference 2009 no Blip.tv! Com certeza vou assistir novamente a apresentação de Simon Hausmann sobre QtWebkit!
Presentation given during Bossa Conference, held in Porto de Galinhas - Brazil in March 10th 2009.
Abstract:
The WebKit project aims to develop a fast, standard compliant browser engine. Its thin platform abstraction makes it extremely portable. Hence, millions of users browse the web every day via their mobile phones and desktop computers – without even realizing it. The Qt toolkit recaptures the fun in software development by focusing on intuitive APIs and cross-platform availability. A cocktail of these two technologies, QtWebKit, provide an even more powerful framework, without compromising portability or ease of use. Today it is possible for web technologies to seamlessly integrate into applications and web content can interact with Qt components. This presentation introduces the QtWebKit APIs and the underlying engine, including new features in Qt 4.5 as well as a sneak preview into future extensions.
