14 DAY TRIAL // Adobe seems set to offer developers as many tools as possible for the development of applications aimed at mobile devices, and the Adobe Flash Builder 4.5 and Flex 4.5, which should be released in June, along with the Adobe Photoshop Touch SDK are among these. The same as with the already available SDK, the upcoming software would offer support for the building of applications for three mobile operating systems out there, namely Android, BlackBerry Tablet OS and iOS.
The new tools for developing applications for mobile devices will be complemented by Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 (CS5.5), expanding the available opportunities when it comes to building software and content for mobile devices.
“These new products offer a new mobile development paradigm – allowing you to use one tool, one development framework, and one codebase to build mobile applications on Android, BlackBerry Tablet OS and iOS platforms,” Adobe notes in a recent blog post.
According to the company, an updated Flash Builder 4.5 would be available for those interested in the building of high performing mobile applications capable of delivering a great visual experience as well.
Moreover, the tool would enable developers easily package those applications and submit them to an app store/market.
“No more need to learn different languages and tools for different mobile platforms,” the software giant continues.
“In May, you will be able to package apps for Android, and shortly thereafter, you will be able to compile apps for BlackBerry Tablet OS and iOS using free updates that we plan to ship for Flex and Flash Builder in June.”
Those interested in learning additional info on the development of mobile applications using Adobe Flash Builder 4.5 and Flex 4.5 should head over to the company's blog here for more details and video demos.
Adobe also explained that it aims at offering a single suit for developers to target mobile, web, and desktop operating systems with their applications.
