“BlackBerry PlayBook demoed in the flesh at Adobe MAX, Air-based SDK launched”
Adobe and RIM have announced availability today of an Air SDK targeting the PlayBook’s QNX-based platform with deep hardware integration.
That makes sense — what better way for RIM to come out of left field and introduce a modern, web-technology-based operating system than letting Adobe do the work for them? I have to say I feel silly for not having expected Adobe to enter the mobile OS race; it’s so perfectly obvious in retrospect, and Palm already proved that designing the system around HTML, JavaScript et al. is not an altogether absurd concept.
Performance looks surprisingly good on that video of a (supposed) real prototype, so I’m assuming it’s the battery life that will be ridiculous instead.
