Adobe has taken a bold and great step forward embracing the HTML5 technology suite by coming up with a tool called Adobe Edge. Ever since Apple decided to stop supporting Flash on their mobile devices, the trend seems to have picked up as more and more vendors and manufacturers seem to be following the same route by not including Flash on their devices. In November 2011, Adobe had officially announced that they are no longer going to support Flash on the mobile devices and Edge is most probably a result of Adobe going in the direction of open standards like HTML5, CSS3 and Javascript.

With Adobe Edge you can create animated and interactive HTML5 content with power, precision and ease. Much like most of the animation tools, Edge seems to have included an easy to use timeline based interface to create powerful Flash like animations using open standards such as HTML5, CSS3 and Javascript. You can add motion to an exisiting HTML or create new compositions to integrate your content. You can also extend your compositions by using pre existing code snippets or writing Javascript code.

The preview of Edge was released to Adobe Labs in August 2011 and is available to download here.
