- Stomper622, on 01/15/2009, -1/+10I do not like green eggs and ham.
- and303, on 01/15/2009, -0/+8I'm too jaded from the inept performance, annoyance, and paranoid-piracy-protection of Acrobat to even want to consider Adobe becoming the "standard" of more universal technologies like Air.
I've literally sat on the phone for an hour trying to re-unlock my own purchased software just to be able to open a work document. Never again. - Eat1, on 01/15/2009, -7/+15I do not like Adobe Air
- SAEJO, on 01/15/2009, -4/+9I love Adobe Air. Everything from now on should be built on this technology. No more worries about Mac only or PC only compatibility.
- gotcheaprice, on 01/15/2009, -3/+7I do not know what Adobe Air is.
- reclusivemonkey, on 01/15/2009, -0/+3Try them and you may I say.
- arcticsoft, on 01/15/2009, -0/+3Maybe I dont understand the air concept, but why? I have a browser and the internet, why build a web app and install a run time for something that can run in a browser?
- frobozz0, on 01/15/2009, -0/+2These are really great examples of AIR applications. Adobe's site also has a nice list worth checking out. I didn't have time to check out every single one, but it's worth taking a look.
Think Adobe can give HTML 5 / CSS 3 / JS 2 a run for it's money? - ElBeh, on 01/15/2009, -1/+3Woah, UVLayer is a pretty sweet webapp. I'm definitely checking this thing out. If it's good enough, then I'll download the desktop version.

No kidding, and I just saw an indy MMORPG written in all java. The game sucked, but what they are doing in Java, including a 3D engine, is impressive nonetheless. - robojerk, on 01/15/2009, -1/+2@etx313
Umm, Java is nothing like Flash, and stating that clearly proves you know nothing about either.. And saying that you can't do large scale apps with Java is ignorant. Look at Lotus Symphony, Eclipse, or OpenOffice.org. - frobozz0, on 01/15/2009, -0/+1For access to your local file system and closer integration with hardware. While the web versions of many of these apps are useful and cool, the AIR applications are what you consider true internet connected software. For example, I could access all my local files for use with these photo and video apps.
- robojerk, on 01/15/2009, -0/+1Was I given a thumbs down for dissing flicker viewers and youtube players or for stating that like Java, AIR is a runtime that allows you to run apps for it on any platform that supports AIR.
- robojerk, on 01/15/2009, -4/+4Same thing was said about Java.
There's also Qt (not a runtime).
I doubt any serious apps (flicker viewers and youtube players are not serious apps) will ever be released on Air unless Adobe proves me wrong and releases Adobe CS on AIR so it can be ran on Windows, Linux, MacOS. - etx313, on 01/15/2009, -1/+1AIR is very very cool, when used properly of course.
- etx313, on 01/15/2009, -2/+2Creative Suite on AIR? It doesn't work like that. Flash is like Java, it compiles to bite code and runs in a virtual machine. It's well suited for small media rich applications, not large scale production suites.
- meghalc, on 01/15/2009, -4/+2What the hell is Adobe AIR? For a second I thought this was 20+ Apps for Mac AIR.
