(Thin) Air on Mobile

Adobe AIR on the Android Platform (Adobe Featured Blogs)

Google is happy to be partnering with Adobe to bring the full web, great applications, and developer choice to the Android platform. Our engineering teams have been working closely to bring both AIR and Flash Player to Google's mobile operating system and devices.

Ridiculous idea. Imagine designing an app that runs in Adobe Air on the desktop where you have a mouse, keyboard and big screen. Now the same app runs on Android. Good luck using that - Printing anyone?

This is just a PR stunt. Air is to resource heavy for Mobile and Flash while OK on the desktop isn't needed on the small screen.
