Adobe Edge is a web development tool developed by Adobe Systems that uses HTML5, Javascript, and CSS3 functionality. It is currently in development and available as a preview via Adobe Labs.[1]
Description
Apple’s Safari browser on the iOS platform does not support browser plug-ins, including Adobe's Flash plugin. For five months in 2010,[2] Apple also temporarily banned apps built using Flash from the iOS App Store, although it reversed that decision in September 2010. In October 2010, Apple ceased bundling the Flash player software with Mac OS X, leaving users to download it if they chose. Apple claims that Flash, a development platform in its own right, undermines the user-experience of Apple products, needlessly creates security flaws, and has never been demonstrated working well on mobile platforms. Many vendors and websites have chosen to follow suit, including Microsoft, which has not included Flash on its Windows Phone 7. Microsoft has gone a step further by removing plugins (like Flash) from the Metro version of Internet Explorer 10 for all versions of Windows 8.

Edge builds applications based on a foundation of HTML5, Javascript, and CSS3. These applications are compatible with iOS, Windows Phone 7 and other HTML5-compatible browsers.
