I have dabbled in development for the BlackBerry Playbook, having created a couple of small applications using the Adobe Air platform. Recently, I decided that since I enjoyed it so much, I wanted to take a look at the other development options available, with the aim of creating a larger, more complex application that has [...]

  Seems as though even in death, the late Steve Jobs is getting his way. According to reports, Adobe will no longer support the development of Flash player for mobile. Sources close to Adobe have noted that they will continue to support current versions of Android and the BlackBerry PlayBook, but will now spend their [...]

Bell has been on a tear when it comes to high-profile Android “superphones”, so it come as no surprise that the carrier today announced its network will be the exclusive home of the Motorola XT860 4G. Billed as the thinnest full-QWERTY slider smartphone, the XT860 4G runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread, and features a 4-inch qHD [...]

For now this only applies to Nexus One users and those who have flashed a custom 2.2 ROM to their Android phone. Other Android will users will have to wait patiently for their 2.2 update before they [...]

The moral of the story here is not to doubt Google and Adobe when they say they’re going to do something. A nice video has popped up showcasing the latest usable Flash for Android build, and it is running on Android 2.2 (see last few seconds for new homescreen). The footage really is amazing to [...]

Steve Jobs has posted a massive exposé on why Flash isn’t on Apple’s mobile platform.
