Whatever work you have done should just work if compiled to be an AIR app vs a browser app.
I would like to help in porting this to the Playbook if you'd be willing to share the code with me?

> Jeffrey, thank you to remind me of my duty^^I develop for AIR now and am tackling the Blackberry Playbook tablet as it too supports AIR.
