Looks good, except that I would use this sentence instead:
*Apache Flex® is a highly productive, open source application framework for
building and maintaining expressive applications that deploy consistently
on all major browsers, desktops and devices (including smartphones, tablets
and tv). *
*
*
We need to be consistent in our own messaging about what Apache Flex is.
Thanks,
Om

OK, I thought you needed to to use the ASF-wide announce list but I guess
not.

This is for the announcement list - as far as I'm aware there is no need for press.a.o to review. It's not mentioned here that I can find:
