Adobe AIR

I went to the Adobe AIR bus tour last night. I love events like that! Wow, that was fun.

AIR (the proper name for Apollo) looks quite promising

It does break your head a bit to see JavaScript accessing the file system, however.

AIR looks simple to get started with - and it will run on Winders, OS X, and Linux. That is great - there really aren't great options today in doing this. You need a special class of develooper that knows a lot of stuff to do this well today.

AIR is cool because it uses technology that developers are already familiar with - this will make it approachable.

AIR could really be big if Adobe executes well on it.
