With the special numbering of 9,000, we kick off Ryan and I’s highlights of Adobe MAX 2009:

• Quick rundown of Adobe MAX 2009 announcements such as: Flash 10.1 with much focus on mobile, LiveCycle ES and mobile access.
• Check out PNC’s Virtual Wallet.
• Ryan having just given a talk on the Adobe Collaboration Services, I ask him to give us an overview.
• Of the services and announcements, I like Shibuya which is Adobe’s service for doing an App Store. This brings up our favorite topic of small development shops – even of one – having a viable revenue pipe.
• Experimental code using putting FXG into the canvas tag and other sneak previews. (Check out some more HTML 5 vs. Adobe “fun” over on Apple Insider.)
• iPhone app development with the Adobe tool-chain. Be sure to check out the “iPhone in a blender” video which is sure to further win over Apple’s hearts. And, see the PhoneGap approval we reference.
