It's Monday--the Monday after a week upon which an Apple Event fell. As much as we'd like to wow you with word of something awesome dropping, unfortunately, well... It's Monday. Instead, may we tempt you with the news that Adobe has updated their flexible Adobe Air cross-platform runtime to version 2.5?
Wait! Where are you going? Seriously, this is kind of cool!
For those not familiar with Adobe Air, it's a clever bit of software that allows a developer to use HTML, javascript, ActionScript and Adobe Flash (of course,) to produce and package applications that will function on multiple platforms with a minimal amount of tweaking. Version 2.5 is the most versatile iteration of Adobe Air yet, with compatibility that spans across a multitude of device types, including computers, mobile phones, televisions and tablet computing solutions. Even if you yourself aren't a code monkey, we're certain that you'll be able to understand why the ability to sort out content for a number of different devices all in one go would be an exciting prospect to the development community.
It's not a refreshed MacBook Air or the announcement of the next version of OS X, but it'll do in a pinch.
