Aaah… They grow up so fast… Adobe AIR is 2 years old today. With AIR 2 now coming to mobile devices like Android devices and Apple’s phones it’s clear that AIR has a bright future ahead.

The AIR 2 release is just around the corner but you can already start building and testing your apps with the public beta available on Adobe Labs.

I can’t wait to see what you guys are going to build with AIR 2 and its new capabilities!
