lifehacker.com — Adobe AIR is still pretty fresh on the market, but already has a healthy number of applications in development or near completion. While many of them are simply desktop translations of web interfaces that were easy to use already, a handful of AIR apps truly make work and play easier, or just more interesting

What kind of apps are you looking for? We've got a bunch of different types of apps in different areas. Marketplace is one place to check: <a class="user" href="http://www.adobe.com/go/marketplace/">http://www.adobe.com/go/marketplace/</a>=Ryanrstewart@adobe.com

Besides not bloating your Firefox even more?

You should explain why. Otherwise your comment was meaningless.

For me, it's not the lack of apps that makes me not want to install AIR, it’s the platform itself. It seems to encourage a lot of non-standard UI elements that make the apps feel like they're not a part of my system somehow (in a similar way to OS X's widgets or Vista's Gadgets). The problem is, AIR apps are run in a way that makes them seem like they *should* be standard apps, which is why they feel out of place somehow.Just my 0.02

Pownce is a pretty cool adobe air app without the up time problems of twhril (Twitter)

A better question is, do you run VMware or something similiar to run a 2nd operating system? That's closer to what AIR is doing.

yeah, the main concern is the use of your computer resources, and it does not really matter where the usage comes from...

The Google Analytics AIR app is a clunky, buggy piece of crap

What about socialu <a class="user" href="http://www.socialu.com">http://www.socialu.com</a>Is that worth installing AIR for? Did you kinda make that too?
