Comment on Adobe acquires Nitobi (Founders of Phonegap)

Comments

Wow- Adobe really are going on a buying streak these days.

I can see the reason for the TypeKit purchase, but never expected this one. I'm a little concerned, but Adobe have been good on their promise to push HTML5 so far, so I hope that this simply means that PhoneGap has a ton more resources at it's disposal, and not that it'll get forced down some Adobe-centric route.

Actually, the more I think about it, the more it makes sense. Adobe isn't a Flash-only company, but they are invested in cross-platform when it comes to mobile devices. Will be interesting to see what happens.

They had integrated PhoneGap with Dreamweaver 5.5 --- not totally shocking, and makes sense to move more towards html5

Wow, they still make Dreamweaver! I remember trying to make websites in it when I first discovered the internet. Good old days.
