Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro Goes Mobile
February 25th, 2010
Adobe® Acrobat® Connect® Pro™ is a web-conferencing tool and it’s one of the best examples of a realtime collaboration RIA app on the internet.
What if you don’t have a PC with you and still want to attend an online meeting. One of the features Connect Pro has is to connect people on a telephone via VOIP bridge so they can hear and participate by voice. But there are situations, when you want to fully attend the meeting via mobile.
Today Adobe introduced Adobe Connect Pro Mobile for iPhone, which you can download for free from iTunes. You can see the shared desktop (slides, pictures…), watch the live camera and chat. All simplified to fit the screen and usability on the iPhone.
Connect Pro is a nice example of a Contextual App - the app running the same context with adjusted user experience to fit the best on different devices.
All written in ActionScript 3.0
What’s even better is that Connect Pro and Connect Pro Mobile are both written completely in Flash/ActionScript 3.0. iPhone version is standalone app compiled to native bytecode using Adobe Packager for iPhone (available later this year). At Mobile World Congress 2010 we have announced AIR 2.0 for Mobile Devices and previewed Connect Pro Mobile running on Android (Motorola Droid). Which is simply the same code written and compiled in the next generation of Flash Pro to Android and iPhone. Android version was just a preview but it’s supposed to be available in the future for download as well. Together with this - AIR 2.0 is planned to be available in the second half of 2010. Basically you’ll be able to build your apps in Flash Pro by writing one base code and simplify porting to different devices.

Interesting post!
Imo, collaboration stuff + mobile = huge market with loads of fun possibilities.
I’m waiting for my Nexus to arrive by mail so I can start building AFCS apps/games with a Java backend. (though I’m not sure if the Flash Lite alpha (which supports as3) will be able to run Flex 4 apps.
