Thanks for the info Mark. I think we need something bigger than a 7" tablet for this project, but it is interesting to note you've got good results on the Hudl.
I did read here <http://forums.adobe.com/message/5078056> about the Nexus 10 having issues with Adobe Air but good to hear that you've had some success with a Nexus. Sounds like the problems were overcome in Air 3.6. Hopefully it gives an indication that Adobe may tackle the problem with Intel processors.
