I heard this rumor sometime ago but Adobe has now made a statement at it’s Max conference in San Francisco. The technology will work on ARM powered devices to enable Adobe Flash 10 and Adobe AIR on supported devices. This will provide hardware accelerated media and graphics to not only mobile phones but also set top boxes and in car systems that use the ARM chip.
This is game changing and the though of being able to deliver AIR applications for mobile devices is very exciting. Will be interesting to see how much interoperability we get between and AIR app and the device it’s running on. I’m thinking GPS for location based awareness right down to access to device information like battery and signal strength.
So now developing for mobile using ActionScript 3 is going to become a reality. I’m already there with a mobile section of RefreshingApps ready to roll!
