Adobe Releases AIR
Today, Adobe released AIR 1.0 (see “TR10: Offline Web Applications”), a platform that allows developers to use Web technologies to build applications that can run online or offline.

Downloads are currently available here for Windows and Macintosh operating systems, and Adobe plans to follow with releases for Linux and mobile devices.
