With the rise of smart TV’s, it was only to be expected that Adobe would expand their Adobe AIR format to support those smart TV’s as it already does with AIR on mobile phones.
Samsung’s new Smart TV’s will be the first TV’s that support Adobe AIR and that is in-line with Samsung’s strategy to increase the number of apps available on such TV’s. Earlier, Samsung already notified the press that it was working on a uniform app platform for mobile and TV.
AIR will also be supported on various tablets. RIM’s Playbook UI has already been built (partly) on AIR. AIR 2.5 will also provide developers access to accelerometer, multi-touch screens and GPS data.
