Conferences are nice - you meet new people, learn new things, and you also learn what you do not know, as people are asking you questions which require you to follow-up later by email. On the other hand, the days after a conference are problematic, as most of your time is spent in combing through your super-sized mailbox to return it to its former self. I am still in the middle of this process, so if anyone who handed over your business card is listening - replying to you is the next step.

Some odd pointers from Adobe MAX.

The mobility related keynote on the second day brought much more traffic to Nokia booth. However the keynote / general session was built around Verizon Wireless' Flash Lite offerings and did not portray Nokia much.

Even though there are 31 Nokia models with Flash Lite, there are only three Flash Lite enabled/capable Nokia models (6682, E62, and 6133) available currently in U.S. The situation will get better in the months to come, but the adoption curve is not at the same point here as it is in Europe for example.

Adobe Apollo is worth checking out. It is a "cross-OS runtime that allows developers to leverage their existing web development skills (Flash, Flex, HTML, Ajax) to build and deploy desktop RIA’s". I have not yet made up my mind about how great (or not great) Apollo is, but at least the demos were cool :-)
