Adobe sticks Air on mobile devices
WHILE ADOBE is slow completing development of a 64-bit version of Flash Player, it has released a version of Air for mobile devices.
It comes out of the Open Screen Project an industry-wide initiative led by Adobe that has grown to close to 70 ecosystem partners.
Air support for Android is expected in 2010, but the big idea is that Air provides developers with a feature-rich environment for delivering rich applications outside the mobile browser and across multiple operating systems via mobile marketplaces and app stores.
The software uses mobile specific features of Flash Player 10.1 and is aimed at providing high performance on mobile screens.
Adobe also announced that a beta of Flash Player 10.1 was made available to content providers and mobile developers worldwide.
With general availability expected in the first half of 2010, Flash Player 10.1 is the first consistent runtime release of the Open Screen Project enabling uncompromised web browsing of expressive applications, content and high definition videos across screens on a variety of different platforms including new tablet devices, smartphones, netbooks, smartbooks, desktops and other consumer electronics.
Adobe's move with Air is set to sail up the nasal passages of Steve Jobs, whose Apple gadgets will not run anything to do with Flash, which means his Ipad will not be able to see a lot of Internet content. µ

This is about adobe AIR not Flash fools.
"AIR is intended to be a versatile runtime environment, as it allows existing Flash, Actionscript or HTML and JavaScript code to be used to construct a more traditional desktop-like program"
and
"With the Adobe® AIR® runtime, you can deliver branded rich Internet applications outside the browser that give you a closer connection to your customer."
AIR's name seems to be based on it in reverse being RIA which is short for Rich Internet Application
Not until I got flashblock on my smartphone first.

Flashblock is one of my favourite add-ons for Firefox under Linux.
I recently uninstalled all Flash programs from my XP gaming rig after Flash popped up and wanted to update.
Flash is nothing but a resource hogging advertisement platform and should be banned.
