Hey Adobe. Why haven’t you produced any hardware? Everyone else is doing it. (I’m sure Google is thinking about it.)

Here’s my wish: Adobe produces a sleek little handheld that runs off a Linux core. For the most part it’s just a music/video player. But of course the greatness of this little device would be that the GUI is all Flash/Flex. And that’s a good name for it to: The Device.

So, Adobe, the key here is that you publish the API that talks to all the hardware and let us Flash Freaks mash it up into the greatest little device on the planet. Who knows what hundreds of thousands of designers/developers could come up with. One second it’s a phone and the next it’s a tri-corder.

Tell you what, you guys start thinking about it and let me know where to send my $500. I’ll buy one right now and you send it to me when you get it built. I’m not joking.
