Air 3

The Adobe® AIR® runtime enables developers to deploy standalone applications built with HTML, JavaScript, ActionScript®, Flex, Adobe Flash® Professional, and Adobe Flash Builder® across platforms and devices — including Android™, BlackBerry®, iOS devices, personal computers, and televisions

• Stage 3D accelerated graphics rendering
  Explore a new architecture for high-performance 2D/3D GPU hardware accelerated graphics rendering by Adobe, which provides low-level Stage3D APIs for advanced rendering in apps and gives framework developers classes of interactive experiences.
• Native extensions for Adobe AIR
  Use native code to take advantage of the same platform- and device-specific native capabilities and APIs available to native apps, with easy integration into AIR applications.
• Captive runtime support
  Developers now have more flexibility with their app packaging options and can automatically package AIR 3 with their Android™, iOS, Windows, and Mac OS app into a single installation file that includes the app and a bundled version of the AIR runtime.
• Stage Video hardware acceleration
  Leverage hardware acceleration of the entire video pipeline for best-inclass high-definition (HD) video playback experiences. Reduce processor and memory usage and enable smoother video, and higher fidelity on mobile and TV devices.
• New mobile features for Android, BlackBerry Tablet OS, and iOS
  Work with powerful features for the development of expressive, high-performing applications for Android, BlackBerry Tablet OS and iOS.
• Android Licensing Service support
  Now developers have access to the Android Market Licensing Service, which lets publishers enforce licensing policies for paid applications that they publish through Android Market.
• H.264/AVC software encoding for cameras
  Stream beautiful video from your computer’s camera with higher compression efficiency and industry-wide support, enabling both high-quality real-time communications (e.g., video chat and video conferencing) and live video broadcasts.
