Mossberg comes out (yet again) against the US mobile cartel
http://services.brightcove.com/services/viewer/federated_f8/452319854
You have to admire Walt Mossberg for taking his position as grand exalted leader amongst technology journalists directly to the US telecoms.

And AIR already runs natively on Mac, Windows and Linux operating systems.
So is Adobe offering some magical Adobe Air to iPad conversion tool? It isn’t out of the realm of possibility, since they’ve got a Flash CS5-> iPhone app exporter already in production.
