Playing with AIR for Android

August 27th, 2010 Chris Griffith

Just wanted to let the user group know that I have developed an AIR for Android app. It was of course, a mobile conference app (Springsteen sings about cars, I write mobile conference apps). I have a write up on the application over on my blog. If you are in the pre-release, you can download the apk file and try it out.

I will bring my Nexus One to September’s meeting, so you can try it out.

Got a project you want to brag about? Then October’s meeting is for you. We are planning to have a user showcase. Bring something you have been working on, and show it off. The demo does not need to be fancy or very long. We know that we got some smart and creative members, so let’s see it!
