Adobe MAX 2009 Predictions

Less than 50 days to go before this years Adobe MAX in Los Angeles — time to go on the record about some of my predictions.

I expect the following focus areas:

  • Mobile and devices
  • Open Screen Project
  • AIR 2.0

Definitely

Possibly

  • Public beta of next version of AIR
  • Announcement of Flex Builder on Linux
  • Celebrity guest appearance

Unlikely

  • Flash Builder getting re-rebranded to Flex Builder
  • Apple taking the stage and announcing Flash on iPhone
  • Microsoft invited up to talk about Silverlight support in AIR

 
Now for the difficult bit, the sneak peeks — some wild guesses and wishful thinking here:

 
This is part of what makes MAX such a great conference to me — no matter how clued up you are with what is going on at Adobe — there will always be some surprises. I’d love to hear your predictions!
