Adobe AIR is a cross-platform runtime that lets developers build native apps for iOS, Android, and desktop using a single codebase. Compatible with devices like iPhone, iPad, Kindle Fire, and Nook, it offers access to a mobile market of over 500 million users.
By using familiar tools like HTML, AJAX, Flash, and Flex, developers can quickly create rich applications with desktop-level functionality. Adobe AIR enhances web apps with offline access and deeper device integration. Ideal for businesses, it enables the creation of branded desktop experiences without changing existing systems or retraining teams.
