F.A.Q

1. Is this open source?
Yes. The source code is GPL v3 and split over three git repos (mobile, desktop, and ralib).

2. Why did you use Adobe Flex / Actionscript?
Adobe Flex follows the mentality of write once run anywhere app. Adobe air is the runtime for adobe Flex. Adobe Air is available on OS X, Windows, Linux, Android, IOS, and BlackBerry. So essentially I have the ability to deploy the same app on all operating systems.

3. Is Windows Mobile Supported?
Not yet. Adobe has not yet released the Air runtime for WM7. When they do it should be fairly simple to export RemoteAdmin to WM7.

4. When did you start this project?
I started around April 15th, 2011.

5. Why is the mobile app much slower than most native applications?
The mobile app was created using Adobe Air which essentially compiles down into native code. However, the compiler for Adobe Air is only about 30% efficient when compared to native compilers on iOS / Android. Pick one (performance or OS independent). Since I wanted to increase the user base, I choose a cross platform code base.
