Which devices support adobe air? - actionscript-3
I am willing to switch my old flash and web apps/games to adobe air so they can also be available to mobile users and need to know how known adobe air is among devices. So my efforts don't get waste.
There are mobile devices running FlashPlayer natively. Like you stated, it's possible to compile an AIR application to a native app which allows you to publish for Android and IOS devices, so that makes the reach even bigger.
FlashPlayer capable devices:

Android devices:

IOS devices:

Small note: There are no devices running Adobe AIR(?) correct me if I'm wrong
Have a look at the Adobe AIR Technical Specs
I hope that helps.
AIR itself is not really "known" among mobile devices that I've encountered practically. Instead, AIR will compile to a native app which means an .IPA for iOS or an .APK for Android. In that context it is not technically "AIR" on those devices but the native binary.
If you download the free FlashDevelop here http://www.flashdevelop.org/ you can use their pre-made AIR for Mobile template to see how these are compiled.
Windows 8 / Metro / Surface
The Adobe roadmap focus on Flash Player for Metro / Windows 8 but Adobe has said elsewhere that AIR will be the vehicle for this (http://blogs.adobe.com/digitalmedia/2011/09/flash-support-on-windows-8-and-metro/) but do not yet have firm releases / support http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplatform/whitepapers/roadmap.html.
Blackberry
There is a Blackberry SDK for Blackberry 10 and Playbook. I have not played with these, but you can find out more at https://developer.blackberry.com/air/

WebRTC (for video chatting) Adobe AIR ANE for android and iOS
Is there some ANE or possible other solution for using WebRTC (mainly for video chat) in Adobe AIR (AS3) for mobile ? There are some third party sdks like Twilio or TokBox but they only provide native solutions. I really need a solution for having cross-platform (or any kind of) good quality video conferencing/chatting library for AIR (android and iOS both). Thanks

Alternatives to Adobe Shadow
Adobe Shadow was a product released by adobe labs. It connected the desktop browser with mobile devices, such that all mobile devices navigate in sync when browsing on the desktop browser. This was very useful. This product is discontinued and now part of Adobe Edge (http://blogs.adobe.com/edgeinspect/2012/09/23/shadow-is-now-adobe-edge-inspect/) requiring a paid adobe creative cloud subscription. Question: Are there alternatives to Adobe Shadow? Is there a special stackexchange forum for web design?
As a simple alternative you can try BrowSync. http://browsync.net
You can check out Muir, has desktop clients for Mac and Windows and covers iOS, Android, Nook HD and Kindle HD Devices. http://labs.iqfoundry.com/muir/
Ghostlab is another good alternative, tests on real mobile/desktop browsers and also syncs scrolls, form inputs, clicks and DOM inspection. http://ghostlab.vanamco.com/
found an open source project, not as convenient as Adobe Shadow tough: https://github.com/viljamis/Remote-Preview
What should I know to develop cross-platform HTML5 game and compile it with PhoneGap Build
I'm thinking about developing HTML5 game to compile it with PhoneGap Build. I'm interested in the Android, iOS and Blackberry platforms. What I want to know is how can I handle different device resolutions with HTML5, what engine/framework is better for this? And are there any other things I need to know about developing a cross-platform app? BTW, for my game I don't need any native things like camera, accelerometer or anything like that, only touch controls.
