He didn't have to change the code from the application itself...just the wrapper, which isn't part of the application. I think the point was that you can write an app and then all you need is a wrapper for each of the OS's for it to run properly, as opposed to having to write separate apps for each OS.

So, he didn't have to change a single line of code, except the ones that changed. -Cameron On Mon, Apr 5, 2010 at 9:12 PM, Vivec <[email protected]> wrote: > > http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/adobe-air-developer-demonstration-one-gam e-five-platforms-all/ > > "We love the idea of Android apps running on iPhone and vice versa, > and that's exactly what Adobe's selling with its multiplatform > development solution AIR -- but though we've seen a demo here and > there, conversations we've had with the company led us to believe that > AIR was not yet up to the task.
