Interesting question to the backstage community... If we ran a competition which required the final prototype to be in Adobe Air, how would people feel about that? There's a run time and SDK for Win, OSx and now gnu/Linux.

I like it too. The Adobe Air platform seems quite good. I got a Breaking News window today on bottom left of screen. It would be nice to think what other tabs could be put in beyond News and Sport... Weather i guess. The new iplayer feeds could be good...
