Resources for FlashinTO demo of AIR on Blackberry Tablet OS
For FlashinTO Gathering v93.0 I'm doing a quick presentation of a very basic demo app I've put together for the Blackberry Tablet OS using AIR 2.5.
Here's the stuff you need to do this:
Flash Builder – you can download a demo from Adobe if you don't have it
Blackberry Tablet OS SDK, Getting Started Guide and Playbook Simulator - http://na.blackberry.com/eng/developers/tablet/
VMWarePlayer - https://www.vmware.com/tryvmware/?p=player&lp=default
Blackberry AIR API Docs - http://www.blackberry.com/developers/docs/airapi/1.0.0/index.html
Read the Getting Started Guide provided by Blackberry. It walks you through installation of the SDK and how to get the Simulator running in the VMware player.
The Getting started guide also has a quick Hello World demo you can build and get running quickly. From there take a look through the API docs to see what else is available specifically for the Tablet OS.
For the demo I'm showing at FlashinTO I'm also using the OSMF media framework for the video playback in case anyone's interested. http://www.opensourcemediaframework.com/
UPDATE: for a much better overview of all this, check out Julian Dulce's MAX presentation:

I'm still working away on trying to get a Flex Hero project up and running using the Blackberry Tablet OS SDK. If I manage to get it working, I'll likely write a blog post about it as it's a bit tricky.
