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

We need to be consistent in our own messaging about what Apache Flex is.
