How do you sell me a new Android phone? Introduce AIR to Android 2.x and show me a working demo. That’s how excited I am, even though there’s no time frame for the release. While AIR will be a mobile version, it offers the same flexibility Adobe AIR has brought to desktop operating systems. As I’ve written in previous posts, I’m a huge fan of AIR and several applications based on AIR. Let’s put this Flash hype aside and focus on what AIR can do for mobile devices.
While all the possibilities were available on Android through Java, the addition of AIR will bring lots of new apps from non-Java developers. Using AJAX, Flex and Flash as development tools, web developers will be able to implement their apps in a whole new way.
Below is a video of AIR and Flash in action on the Droid.
What are your thoughts? Any applications you’d like to see ported over to the AIR Mobile platform?
