I agree 100%, this would be very useful in the PR battle. Note however,
that these things, if done really well, are quite expensive. Our Flex app
was featured in a fairly recent episode of Adobe TV:
http://tv.adobe.com/watch/flash-platform-in-action/spatialkey-app-presents-locationbased-information-for-better-enterprise-decision-making/

Getting well-done video content like that can go a long way in impressing
enterprise customers, but it ain't cheap. I would LOVE to see Spoon raise
enough money to be able to create really slick, well-produced video case
studies that show why Flex is awesome (also note that in the SpatialKey
Adobe TV episode Flex isn't once mentioned, although it's the only really
important part of our app). This seems much more inline with the Spoon
mission, so further discussion should probably happen there I guess. But I
think the PR issue is one of our biggest problems, and CEOs/CTOs are
impressed by flashy PR videos.
