Re: [Skunkworks] Your thoughts on the Adobe AIR platform

Hi guys,

I (and perhaps most of us) have been using adobe air applications - mostly twitter clients. I just recently visited the Adobe AIR Marketplace (type the three words in your Firefox awesomebar to get there) and I saw very cool apps, some of which I have installed on my computer. While trying out the apps, I couldn't help but wonder what the future of adobe air is like... I mean it appears as though people have turned a blind eye to the capabilities that Adobe AIR has - or is it that I have been living behind a rock? I haven't been keen on Adobe AIR anyway till I visited the marketplace page.

One app that particularly got me impressed is the New York Times Reader. For a moment, I felt like I owned an iPad or one of those expensive gadgets that the likes of Apple build while I tinkered with the application.

If you are engaged in application development using the Adobe AIR platform (or you just happen to know a stuff about it), care to share your thoughts on what you think of the platform's future?


Yours digitally ;)

Me.
