Mitchell, Check out my blog post about AIR. It's **WAY** more than just WebKit (though it does indeed incorproate the WebKit HTML engine).
http://cjordan.us/index.cfm/2007/7/19/Adobe-on-AIR-Bus-Tour-Summer-2007 In short, AIR is the Adobe Integrated Runtime. It allows you to use HTML, JavaScript, ActionScript3, Flex, FlexBuilder3, Flash or any combination of the above to create connected desktop applications (sorta like the JVM gives Java developers the ability to write programs for the desktop). See my blog post for more detail. Cheers, Chris On 8/2/07, Mitchell Waite <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Whats the big deal about AIR?
