Okay I have tried to find someone to talk to about Flex API 2.5 and Flashbuilder at ESRI but its been a pain. I currently run Flex API 2.3 and Flashbuilder 4. I want to update to the newest version of the Flex API 2.5 and Flashbuilder. I saw on the 'net a guy who was able to use Flashbuilder 4.5.1 to export a release build to and Android device. Does anyone know about this capability? Once the app is on the Android tablet, what can the user do with it, can they edit attributes offline?  Also, I am confused about the talk of Apache.

FB 4.5 allows you to create mobile applications for iOS and Android, you create the app and FB exports it into native code that allows you to install it onto the device. Since this uses the standard ESRI API all of the standard features are available including editing (although not offline at the moment, i think this is on the way).

As always Mansour explains it better than i ever could, check out the updated links at the top...

You have to design it as a mobile app so there is a learning curve, for example there are many new methods that manage gesture inputs.

The talk of Apache is because Adobe are donating Flex to the Apache Foundation and will become a contributor instead of owner...
