It seems with new reports of MIDs based on Andoroid this summer that Android OS 2.0 has flash support. the meaning is actually a bit more subtle. Performance wise and other wise you will not see Adobe AIR applications on Android devices as of yet and you will not see Adobe AIR applications on Android until w3c web widgets are supported probably. However, video applications through flash get a huge boost.
That means one type or class of applications, Mobile RIA as in WebView, will become default replacement for Adobe AIR like applications on Android. That requires more qa code metrics in the development environment than the current ADT Eclipse plugin provides. For these reasons I am pushing out the AndCooper build system at this time. The first stable release is this week.
