A breath of fresh AIR: AIR on Android

DIGG IT!     12 Comments Published Sunday, February 14, 2010 at 9:01 PM .

Tonight Adobe announced AIR for Android at Mobile World Congress. The new AIR runtime allows any Flash/Flex developer to create standalone applications on Android. The runtime is very fast and is highly optimized for low cpu and low memory conditions on mobile devices. Given the explosion of Android devices, developers will be able to widely deploy AIR apps in late 2010.

Here are some screen shots of the apps running at the Adobe booth at Mobile World Congress. I would highly recommend trying some of these applications out at the show.














Special thanks to the Zephyr team and the external developers who build applications in partnership with Adobe for Mobile World Congress. You rock! :)

It is going to be a very exciting year ahead.

Cheers,

Ted :)

    This is incredibly exciting.

    Will there be a few notes somewhere about when we developers will get a hold of it?

    Thank you.

    Hope this is the runtime that knocks the ball out of the park this time round for standalone mobile apps and Flash content (along with inbrowser Flash).

    Many of us in the Flash community have seen many attempts at mobilizing Flash across devices for many years. For one reason, or another, it's never exactly panned out for Flash.

    Here's to hoping that Adobe puts as much effort into the runtime as they should into ecosystems with the OSP partners.
