Adobe touts AIR as the next big thing on web development
While Microsoft is kept busy trying to grab market from Adobe's Flash, the San Jose based company is not sitting duck for a second either. Adobe announced today the availability of its AIR platform (Adobe Integrated Runtime) and the Adobe Flex 3 software, both meant to aid the development of rich Internet applications that can extend onto your desktop.
A perfect example of this is the pownce desktop application, which works seamlessly as a desktop application although at its very core, it's a web-based service. Wikipedia identifies as AIR competitors, Microsoft's XAML (part of the Windows Presentation Foundation), Sun's JavaFX, and Mozilla's Prism, that was announced late last year.
