Adobe showing off Adobe AIR at MAX events Conference in Los Angeles on Monday, which will include major upgrades to bring the Android platform and runtime for mobile devices. Big feature is the Adobe AIR 2.5 supports many new platforms, including Windows 7 Phone, BlackBerry Tablet OS and Android in particular. Adobe AIR for Android was launched at the beginning of last week, but updates will come this Monday will bring AIR to Android-based tablets and TV devices.
One of the most prominent TV device is the Samsung SmartTV, which will be pre-installed version of Android around the year 2011. AIR 2.5 brings new and advanced features, many of which are designed to make it more useful on mobile devices, including geolocation and accelerometer support, access to applications and video cameras, multi-touch and gesture support, and the
JavaScript engine which is 50% faster. All these features are important components for mobile applications, so it is not surprising that a new version of AIR arrived with this upgrade. In addition to AIR 2.5, Adobe launched InMarket we can regard it as an Adobe
version of the IOS from the
Apple application store.
InMarket designed to store the multi-platform to get AIR applications in the operating system and applications market. Currently available for Intel AppUP, but the Android and other platforms will follow. That less than all of this is support in the IOS. Although Adobe says supports the IOS, it only refers to the ability to create iPhone applications via Adobe Flash from Adobe Labs. There is no direct way to install the AIR application to the iPhone, and most likely never will. Both companies have been fighting since Apple removes support for Flash from the iPad or iPhone.
