AIR is basically WebKit (the engine behind Safari), more tightly
integrated into the system. Basically, an easier-to-code version of
Konfabulator. It allows developers to develop web applications that run
on the desktop, have behaviors that operate a certain way when you're
offline, and have a set course of action when your status returns to online.
I do use some AIR gadgets now, and I'm writing a few more, just for fun
and practice (to say I'm an AIR developer, basically) - I'm a fan of the
Adobe Kuler (http://kuler.adobe.com) application, which returns a set of
palettes that users have created.

Whats the big deal about AIR? I went to the labs to study it and its so
overwhelming (does anything) that I kind of missed the whole point. From
what I gathered its like an entire operating system.

Hey, all -
Just finished my first jQuery/AIR app, and it works... mostly. I
haven't figured how to make my title draggable yet, and it's not the
most impressive game, but it's working. If you'd like to offer feedback,
it's up as an HTML file at: http://tobias.parentleafarm.com/rebound.html
or as an AIR file (unverified) at
http://tobias.parentleafarm.com/rebound.air
Todo on it: make the window draggable by the title bar, make a more
playable (game-worthy) interface, and start building a jQuery-based game
engine!!
Thanks!
-Toby
