Today Adobe announced at the Mobile World Congress that they are going to extend their AIR platform to mobile devices, helping out many mobile developers facing problems with deployment on multiple platforms.
AIR runtime lets developers use web technologies to build rich Internet applications that run outside the browser on multiple operating systems. Today at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, Adobe will, according to their press release, announce the extension of AIR to mobile devices, starting with Android and Blackberry OS by 2010. Developers can now develop applications for Android and deploy the application at the same time to desktop environments like Windows, Mac and Linux or, by using the iPhone Flash package, to the iPhone.
With support for mobile devices Adobe AIR includes specific functionality offered by mobile operating systems and devices such as multi-touch, gesture inputs, accelerometers, geolocation and screen orientation. The AIR team already worked with several developers of applications currently available in the Apple App Store to get their apps running on AIR Android, including Southpark Avatar Creator and many games.
There is more to be announced the coming days at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona; we will keep you informed. Distimo is present at the congress as well. If you want to meet, please contact us!
