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. This technology, launched this week, lets Web site owners build services--be it a media player, an accounting app, or a video editor--that Web surfers can more easily and more quickly access either online, offline, or on a cell phone. To get a better idea of how this works, browse this collection of current and upcoming Adobe AIR apps.
