Good news/ bad news

Friday, February 29th, 2008

Links for Adobe AIR?

Monday, February 25th, 2008

Does anyone have a good, technical article or three about Adobe's newly-released AIR platform?  It hit 1.0 today.  The best I've got so far is a gloss-over from  ArsTechnica.  I still have some questions about how it fits in with Flash, or if it's an entirely different beast.
