New Major Release of Flex Is Due This Summer

This release will be huge

This caught me by surprise – isn’t it a bit too soon? One of the most interesting features of this Flex release is configurable modules. This new release also features lots of new controls. I like the grooved panels. The Web site to promote the new Flex is done in Flex too (finally!).

Check out the “Flex Customizer” menu. This option reads, “Just because you don’t have your own design studio does not mean that you can’t customize a Flex.”

The menu “Build a Flex” is even more intriguing, “Sure, we could guess at what you want in a new Flex, but it’s always better to get the facts straight. So in anticipation of its arrival, take a few minutes to configure your own…”

Visit the all new Flex Web site for more details.
