Adobe Launches Flash 10.1, AIR 2 Beta: Hurray for Multi-Touch and Mobile Support
Software
Written by Patrick Laughner on Tuesday, November 17, 2009

Today, Adobe updated it’s product lines with betas of Flash 10.1 and AIR 2. The Flash 10.1 update is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux, as well as x86-based netbooks. Major updates include multi-touch support, and support for several mobile devices, including: Android, Windows Mobile, Palm WebOS, and Symbian S60. The AIR 2 beta is available for Windows XP, Vista, and 7; as well as MAC OS and Linux.

Adobe has been cranking out the features lately. Perhaps it’s due to increasing pressure from Microsoft’s Silverlight platform. You can expect an increase in performance and functionality with both of these new builds.

  • Advanced networking capabilities like secure sockets, UDP support, and the ability to listen on sockets.
  • Support for native code integration.

  • Multi-touch and gesture support.
  • New APIs for access to raw microphone data.
  • Webkit update with HTML5/CSS3 support.
  • Global error handling.
  • Improved cross-platform printing
  • Improved security and support for enterprise and government standards.

Adobe expects final releases of Flash and AIR 2 sometime in the first half of 2010.
