AIR 2.0 (Athena) is here! NATIVE USB SUPPORT!

Well almost :)

But i can give you a sneak peak.

It does include some really nice new features like detecting changes in Mass storage devices. There is a new Class called StorageVolumeChangeEvent which dispatches two different events (STORAGE_VOLUME_MOUNT and STORAGE_VOLUME_UNMOUNT) when an USB device is mounted/unmounted (Think camera, external HDD and USB stick). I cannot tell you the specifics about it yet, but I’ve done some tests and it works like a charm!

There will also be some other long awaited extras that will be very VERY funky!
So check out this video to see all of it!

    I hope it is only one small feature in the 2.0 :) I am expecting something huge.
