TheProducer (AIR for Android) on the Nexus One

As many have heard & we have noted here (How Apple Sucker Punched Us…), it appears Apple is going to block the development of iPhones with Flash CS5. We believe where one door closes, another one will always open. Adobe has opened that door with AIR for Android. Just like you could have created apps with the Flash CS5 iPhone Packager, they’ve built “AIR for Android”! It allows developers to create native Android apps using Adobe technology. We will fill you in on more details about the technology soon, but for now…. it is with great pleasure we present our first preview of TheProducer Android App, developed with Adobe’s AIR for Android technology!!!

Long live Android! Long live Adobe!

How Apple Sucker Punched Us…

Hi this is Lee checking in…. We’ve been really busy working on new features and dealing with a political war that we got caught in.

First things are first… FEATURES!

  1. Revamped Q&A - Screenshots coming soon… 
  2. More Apps… We are working on a couple of new publications/apps. More details from Harry coming soon…

The Unrighteous War… Over the last two weeks I’m sure most have heard about Apple’s rampage with their new iPhone OS 4.0 SDK Agreement. If not, basically they are saying they will be blocking any new app that are created with 3rd party tools (i.e. Unity3D, Appcelerator’s Titanium, Adobe’s Flash CS5 / AIR 2.0, etc…). If that was not enough, reading VentureBeat yesterday, it appears Apple will potentially block 3rd Analytics and Advertising as well.

How Apple has screwed us… This adversely affects the direction in which we were heading. I’ve been a part of the Adobe Flash CS5 & now the Adobe AIR 2.0 beta testing. Our first app, TheProducer (Lite Edition), was built using Flash CS5 and is live in the iTunes App Store. Shortly before the iPad was announced, we submitted the full edition of TheProducer for approval, and there she sits, “In Review” for nearly three weeks. We had almost finished an iPad version as well, that was, by the way, running very nicely on my iPad. My guess for the delay is probably because of Apple’s war on Flash and other 3rd party tools.

Needless to say, we are no longer developing any more iPhone / iPad apps anytime soon because of Apple’s close-minded, my-way-or-the-highway, stance towards developers. We like the highway. In fact, that highway has led us to start developing for the fastest growing mobile platform… Google Android OS!

Full speed ahead… From what it looks like, there is nothing we can do to change Apple’s mind. What they are doing now, will hurt their developer community down the road. For us, we are pursuing a NEW direction… Google Android!!! There is a plethora of Android OS devices (Motorola Droid, HTC Hero, etc…) currently on the market and in a couple of months the Android Tablets will arrive.

So far, I’m most impressed with the demo and specs of Notion Ink’s ADAM:

  • Android OS 2.0
  • 10.1” Pixel Qi touch screen
  • Dual-Core ARM CORTEX-A9 MPCORE
  • 1080p Video / 3.2 MP Camera (the camera swivels front/back… Skype!)
  • 16 hour battery for video playback

Now… just to get my hands on one of these ADAM’s or another Android device so I can test the Android version of TheProducer.

Stay tuned… more info coming shortly…
