Future of the Tablet OS SDK for Adobe AIR

It has been months since the last update to the AIR SDK. With all the excitement surrounding the NDK, I'm starting to think I may need to re - write my application from scratch to have access to the PB magnetometer and gyroscope. I'm no expert air but have learned to appreciate the power of the Adobe platform. But I also believe that its value is strongly decreased because of Lake access to sensors, BlueTooth. and the statement of the API. There is a whole class of advanced applications that are missing from the App World due to the RIM footdragging.

It is my understanding that AIR applications running on the desktop computer can access native libraries for things like BlueTooth and other material that is not directly supported. I don't understand why RIM has not yet published a simple extension to ActionScript so that I can complete my app.

Is this too much to ask for an official update from the vision of the RIM for the AIR SDK?

Personally, I think that more serious comments are noticed, discussed and propagated upwards when appropriate, and few things we are dealing with here are surprising in any way with persons on BOARD.

I think that in most cases, things that we complain are well understood, and they have plans to deal with a lot or most of them in the future releases (some may imminent, judging by reports in the last two days).

And I think that RIM expects a lot of these things, but simply felt forced into a strategy of liberation at the beginning (maybe a good strategy, if she somehow influenced things related to the TouchPad by RIM being first) with a lot of these things still in the works. I do not think that they have been "footdragging" much or at all, but are simply work very hard and invisibly for us, to bring us all these goodies as soon as possible. I can only wish for more transparency and communication on this subject, but their culture does not seem right now aligned with these principles.
