Here is a posting by Andy Rubin who is the Google VP of Engineering. Here is a snippet: "Google believes that developers should have their choice of tools and technologies to create applications. By supporting Adobe AIR on Android we hope that millions of creative designers and developers will be able to express themselves more freely when they create applications for Android devices. More broadly, AIR will foster rapid and continuous innovation across the mobile ecosystem." - Andy Rubin I am excited about Flash and AIR coming to this platform. In fact, I think its time I retire my Apple 3GS.

Adobe AIR Comes to Android

Fri, 26 Feb 2010 12:49:00-0400

A short while back Adobe has announced Flash Player 10.1 and AIR for Android. This is expected to be out sometime in the first half of 2010. This release will be optimized for these devices and will take advantage of the capabilities of these devices. This is a very exciting time for developing mobile applications when these technologies are released. This brings me to Apple, what are they going to do in the future? While Apple's app store is a huge success, with Flash and AIR coming to all of their competitors devices, it will be interesting to see what Apple does. I for one have been interested in developing mobile apps for some time. However I was not going to waste my time learning how build iPhone apps. My time is better spent focusing on Flex/Flash Builder, CF 9, AIR and so forth. I figured when this stuff comes out, I will start building apps using what I know and use every day.

Adobe Flash Collaboration Service (ACFS)

Make sure to keep an eye on this. The previous name was "Cocomo" in case you are not aware of the new name. If you ever had the need, or will have the need to build real-time social type applications, this service is for you. ACFS is a service based platform that allows Adobe Flex developers to easily add real time communication. The solution is comprised of a set of Flex custom components, and hosted services provided by Adobe. Using these components and services you can build real-time multi-user RIA's. Using the Flex components and hosted services will allow a rapid platform for developing these applications. You can also have peace of mind knowing that server issues and tasks such as deployment, maintenance, and scalability are taken care of. I'm very excited about this solution, and can't wait to start building apps with it. Check it out on Adobe Labs

Project Planning Software Built in AIR

Tue, 02 Oct 2007 05:48:00-0400

Even though AIR is still in Beta 2, developers are already starting to create applications. Here is one that is still in development, but allows you to try it out as the application itself is still in Beta.

Agile Agenda is project planning software. The developer of this application was getting fed up with Microsoft Project, so he decided to make his own project planning software!
