After reaching a dead end on its attempt to get Flash on the iPhone, Adobe unveiled Flash 10.1 and AIR for Android is going to be part of the Open Screen Project that is expected to come around at the first half of 2010. This means that Flash and AIR developers are able to install content to all devices of Android.

This means that flash games and AIR apps are now going mobile and this starts with the Android platform. This can be an advantage for game developers since they will no longer need to create different versions of their applications and games for different devices. One version can do the job.

The announcement was made at Mobile world Congress in Barcelona. The said Open Screen Project is a consortium of about 70 companies ranging from Nokia to AOL. Through this project, Adobe is hoping that Flash and AIR would be able to be consistent part of mobile devices worldwide and they also aim to target netbooks, tablets and other devices that can support the Flash platform.

Adobe AIR gives the ability to create mobile apps for Android and this allows developers to port their creations into mobile and make use of information like GPS in their apps. This initiative is more of like a response to the one platform that does not make use of flash which is the iPhone OS. For now Adobe faces a challenge from the forthcoming web standard HTML 5 which Apple preferred over Flash.

Most mobile app developers would find that the benefits of having Flash on Android and other mobile platforms are much better than the costs it presents. By the end of this year, it is predicted that Adobe and AIR would be consistently used among numerous mobile and computer platforms. This would give a lot of reasons for developers to create new and richer media within Adobe’s framework.

So for those of you who are into games and videos or even browsing the web for other media and would want outstanding graphics and performance you can get yourself an Android phone and be amazed at what Adobe Flash and AIR has in store for you.
