Adobe has introduced AIR (Adobe Integrated Runtime) for mobile phones. A lot like the desktop version, this technology allows Flash apps to run offline and outside of the web browser. Using this platform, developers will be able to design an application once and deliver it across multiple phone operating systems.
With the mobile version, developers can also take advantage of specific phone features such as multi-touch, accelerometers and GPS capabilities.
The creators of AIR have announced that it will be available for Android devices later this year, with others to follow.
“With the Flash Platform further advancing on mobile devices, we enable developers and content publishers to deliver to any screen, so that consumers have open access to their favorite interactive media, content and applications across platforms,” Adobe platform business chief David Wadhwani said in a statement.
