Adobe AIR is now available in Android Market

So after Adobe announced its first beta back in July, AIR is officially makes it debut in Android Market. Even though the app can be downloaded via Android Market, sadly it will only available for device with Android 2.2 (Froyo.) Also, what you need to keep it in mind, that this is not an AIR app, its just a runtime app to.. well, run AIR application.

I don't know if you can install the desktop AIR application, but currently you can download a couple of AIR apps from Android Market such as, Qrossfire, Jacks or Meteor Storm. In the future, we can expect a lot more of Android Applications (especially games) build with AIR. You could check more details about this from Adobe Labs.

Android 2.2 is coming to Samsung Galaxy S in September

According to Samsung UK Mobile twitter account, they tweeted that the international version of Galaxy S will receive the Android 2.2 update in September. About three days ago, the Galaxy S owners could update their device using the leaked update for Android 2.2. But there are reports saying that the update is still very buggy and unstable. Considering all of those stuffs, I think it is safer to wait for the official release on September.

Hopefully, after the update, Samsung also will fix the occasional lag that I had experienced when I'm playing with the Galaxy S at the ICS a couple of weeks ago. We'll keep you posted about it!
