Air is a neat idea, but has a little problems in execution. I like the fact that it is a "cross-platform" but like most "cross-platform" systems there are problems that arise.
Air's main problem comes with the memory leaks that are inherent in Flash/Shockwave. Keepin an application open all day will most surely drain your system resources. Minimizing and maximizing will help a little and clear out some of the memory, but the leak will still remain.
Plus the non-uniformity of UI standards makes a lot of Air applications frustrating to work with on a daily basis. Since there are no "standard control" suites that developers conform to in the Air arena each application gets it's own look and feel, which can be extremely difficult for novice users to navigate.
It is extremely simple to create an Air application and have it out to market ... which is nice. But some of the limitations of the deployment system and development systems should be looked at before choosing if it is the best environment for you.
Bit of a resource hog, but there are many really good AdobeAir based apps out there that might just make it worthwhile. These are some: http://www.sizlopedia.com/2008/03/08/10-most-useful-adobe-air-applications/
Ugh, I hate it. HATE IT. I'm no fan of Flash to begin with, and this damn thing lets Flash run as a native application.
The big problem with that is there is no canonical widget set for Flash. No default buttons or drop downs. Everybody makes their own. This makes it inconsistent with my OSes visual theme, and that upsets me. A lot.
Flash should burn in a firey hell. Air can feed the flames.
Nice builder
COOL 啊
RAM hog.
Adobe Air
this is for Adobe Air
I use Some AIR apps here; the Utterli Client is useful, but my favorite is Tweetdeck, the Twitter Client.
I've given Adobe Air 5 stars across the board.
REASON: It delivers beautiful apps on your desktop with little memory usage. I use Twhirl and Doomi. And nos with Photoshop CS4 adobe added Kuler which is a nice palette chooser.
I like Adobe Air. I noticed that Air-apps does not seem to pop up here on Wakoopa when you install them. I tried out ReadAir: http://code.google.com/p/readair/
Wonder why?
