Hi Omar,

I looked at it some time ago and though it was ok however the more recent EJ4 
does looks like a vast improvement. I'll look more into it. I still have some 
issue with lack of tools and language features in JS. I have been coding JS 
since IE3 days so have a fairly good idea of it's benefits and limitations.

Well not entirely correct you can right now target Android FP (11.1) and you 
can target iOS and Android via AIR but your right there's no flash player in a 
browser on iOS. iOS and Android are more about apps  and Flex (via AIR) does 
continue to work there so it may or may not be an issue depending on how you 
want to distribute your application.

I agree there. And we wont have any idea re performance until someone gives it 
a go.

Thanks,
Justin
