Publishing AIR for Android Apps
A big congratulations to all those on the public AIR for Android pre-release that have gone on to release their apps onto the Android Market. It’s great to see content getting out there and I seriously hope all you guys and girls get the recognition you deserve for your efforts. For those who are close […]
AIR available on Android Market
Good news, Adobe AIR for Android is now available on the Android Market. You still need to sign-up to the AIR for Android public beta if you want to actually develop AIR apps at the moment, but I’m guessing that restriction will end pretty soon. I’m sure we can also look forward to seeing some […]
BlackBerry PlayBook
Another tablet device and another OS. Things are hotting up with BlackBerry entering the arena with the Flash Player 10.1 and AIR 2.5 enabled PlayBook. It looks like this device will pack a punch, with a 7-inch screen, 1GHZ dual-core CPU, 1GB of RAM, support for hardware accelerated video and an HDMI output that can […]
AIR for Android Books
I’ve been thoroughly enjoying the AIR for Android pre-release but given my limited time I certainly haven’t been able to explore everything it has to offer. So it was extremely pleasing to find out that there will be a few books on the subject coming out at the end of this year. O’Reilly will be […]
Getting Started with AIR for Android
You’ve probably noticed my posts haven’t been as frequent of late. We’ll it’s all Adobe’s fault!

Goodbye Symbian. Hello Android

HP Windows 7 Slate
Does it look familiar? Of course it does, it’s the HP Windows 7 slate. It was certainly one of the most promising looking tablets on the horizon and I for one was a little upset when it looked like HP had pulled the plug on the project. Thankfully HP has just announced that it will […]
Flash Mobile Competitions
Flash competitions are like buses. You wait ages for one then three come along at the same time. But hey I’m not complaining and neither should you because three separate competitions simply means three more chances of winning something! Adobe are really starting to push the Flash platform on mobile and along with its partners […]
My “Write Once, Run Anywhere” Experiment
The Challenge There’s much talk of creating content once with Adobe Flash and running it just about anywhere. Now anyone who’s had experience writing Flash content for mobile will know that it’s not that simple (all devices aren’t equal after all) but hey, I’m always up for a challenge and thought I’d try and port […]
Will mobile limit future Flash features?
Okay this is a slightly controversial post but it’s something that’s been nagging at me for a good few months now so I thought I’d put it out there and see what people think. Will Adobe’s mobile vision for Flash restrict future features? “Why would it?” you might ask. Well the whole point of Flash […]
