Adobe's New AIR Technology

As if the line between desktop apps and Web services wasn't fuzzy enough, Adobe has introduced a technology called Adobe Integrated Runtime (AIR) that promises to further blur the difference even more--for the good.

To get a better idea of how this works, browse this collection of current and upcoming Adobe AIR apps.
