The company hopes the AIR platform will take off as a tool for building mobile phone apps that run on various mobile phone operating systems.
Google’s Android mobile OS is the first on the list to support apps developed using Adobe AIR, and also to run the Flash 10.1 player.
Both should be available on Android phones sometime in the next six months.

The launch of AIR for Android is just the beginning of what Adobe hopes is a way for it to bridge the widening span of different devices and operating systems.
Just as Adobe wants AIR to be used for everything from desktops to tablets and netbooks it plans on being the common standard for developers of mobile apps whether they’re for Nokia, Palm or Blackberry.
Of course, this preponderance would also help it in its fight to be supported on Apple’s iPhone and iPad.
