On iOS, you can use UIDocumentInteractionController to call other apps: http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/UIKit/Reference/UIDocumentInteractionController_class/Reference/Reference.html

For Puffin, Puffin registers "puffin://", so as long as you set the URL as "puffin://XXX", the system will bring up Puffin with URL = "http://XXX". Also, "puffins://XXX" maps to "https://XXX".

From within a Flash Platform application you can use navigateToURL() to open a link. Conceptually something like this:

navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.mydomain.com"));

In an AIR app;. this passes the request onto the underlying operating system. From within your application you cannot control how the OS handles it; which means you cannot control which browser is launched.
