AIR for Android now on Android Marketplace

Thats right, I just noticed AIR for Android is available on the Marketplace.

Simply type “adobe air” and you’ll be welcomed with a quick and free download. Not sure if this means AIR/Android is coming out soon for developers but its pretty damn exciting.

On a related note my talk on Flash Mobile that i’ll be presenting at MiniMax is really starting to kick ass. I have some cross device workflows, tips, tricks and sample code. All materials and code will be provided to attendees of my talk for free, with some bonuses. If you are going to be around, please stop on by.

More about this AIR/Android topic soon. As always keep a watch on Scriptplayground for new tutorials, especially on Flash mobile, in the coming weeks! ;)

No you aren’t living in the twilight zone, Apple has indeed lifted its 3.3.1 restriction. This of course is huge for the Flash community as we can now once again create mobile apps using the Flash for iPhone Packager that is included in Flash CS5.

Not only can you create apps, but existing apps have started to become approved as of today and even Adobe announced the news, ending with a note they will continue development.

So in the end Adobe comes up on top, and I still hate Apple for putting us through this, but glad its over… at least for now. Hopefully Apple will lift their baseless ban on Flash for mobile Safari.

As most of you know I was a member of the AIR for Android Prerelease program at which time I built Happy Peg using AIR and shot a video of the process.

Well today I am happy to announce the prerelease program has been opened to the public, all you have to do is sign up, download the files and get coding. However you will still be bound by standard NDAs, so be sure to read all of the “Welcome” information and follow the rules.

Enjoy this special opportunity, go out and get a Android phone (if you don’t have one) and start porting those apps for mobile consumption.

I will be posting lots of tutorials and information once I am able to, follow Scriptplayground to stay up to date on all things Android.
