However the statement remains true. Air 2 on the Mac doesn't respond to touch events or multiple touch events. Air 2 on the Mac responds to gestures. Big difference. There is a lot can do with touch events that you simply can't do with gestures. I think there is still a lot of confusion on this topic and that was partially the reason for the post. Maybe I should update that bit for clarification.

So why even bother?" That is simply not true. You can respond to multi-touch events in AIR 2.0 on the Mac. Not sure where you got your information from. “Adobe Air 2 (and later Flash player 10.1) can only access touch events on Windows 7. So why even bother?”

As developers, we just have to be more conscious of the capability differences between Mac and Windows, but also the various mobile platforms. I'd rather have Adobe keep innovating the Flash platform to maximize the capabilities of the native OS, but they will also need to provide guidance on the "gotchas" that we may encounter across the various platforms. 2010 is going to be a fun year. :) I think with FP 10.1 being both a desktop and mobile player, full cross platform capability would be a horrible move and would only serve to handicap the Flash platform.
