I've been hearing some murmurings about this too - think its just speculative based on Adobe's strong focus on PhoneGap and mobile in-browser Flash Player getting taken down. Doubt it is the case, specifically because of their gaming angle with Stage3D but could be wrong - and to be honest I've been surprised by Adobe a few too many times to be confident about any of their technology sticking around.
Its a bad week to get feedback from Adobe though, believe they all have the week off. - Peter On Tue, Jul 3, 2012 at 3:29 PM, aYo ~ <a...@binitie.com> wrote: > "Is Adobe really planning to pull AIR from both iOS and Android?
