Leak? June 28th Release For Adobe Flex 2

According to Sydney Sloan (Marketing - Adobe) in a Breeze webinar @ 11AM (c):

Official release date:

June 28, 2006

Pricing as follows:

Flex 2 SDK - FREE Flex Builder 2 - $499, $749 w/charting FDS - $6,000 (100 concurrent users), $20,000 (enterprise)

Interestingly: FDS Express - FREE (one app per cpu).

Charting components - $299

I want to stress that the above information came from one non-Adobe employee, and may not be entirely accurate, if at all.

That disclaimer aside, AWESOME!!! That positions the release to be on Day 1 of the CFUNITED conference, which also means that Mystic (aka, ColdFusion 7.0.2) will be released that day as well (it was noted in a Developer Week presentation that the CF bits would be released simultaneously). The release date does seem to make sense, as Adobe will be giving the keynote address at the conference that day, which makes it the perfect platform to make a major announcement such as this (among other channels, of course). Further, it follows the "first half of 2006" official line on release dates to this point, yet maximizes the time they have to get it out the door.

I have to say, the pricing is extremely aggressive, and I think is a further testament to how much Adobe has riding on this release. If you haven't been checking out the online presentations this week surrounding Flex during Adobe Developer Week, then you're missing out on a ton of great information.

P.E. -- (Post Entry) I hope Sydney Sloan doesn't get in too much trouble!!
