Adobe AIR<\/strong>, everyone’s favorite cross platform sexy app-maker\/resource hogger is soon updating to version 2.5<\/strong><\/a>, with some important new features. The big news is support for the Android<\/strong> platform and for TV<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Taking advantage of the proliferation of Android devices around today, Adobe is clearly hoping AIR will catch on with smartphone and tablet users. Just like on your desktop, if you try to use an AIR application on your Android device, you will now be directed to download the AIR runtime from the Android Market. This may not be ideal, but Adobe hopes to convince manufacturers to sell devices with AIR pre-installed.<\/p>\n
