picture-145.pngLots of new Adobe AIR applications are launching today at the Adobe Max conference in Chicago. In addition to those in the previous post, they include:

—A new Adobe Media Player that lets you watch shows in Flash either online or off and manage your shows in an iTunes-like application. Videos from CBS, PBS, Yahoo Video, Blip.tv, Revision3, and others are available.

—A dedicated eBay Desktop for power eBay users.

—A desktop version of AOL’s Top 100 Videos.

—A video puzzle from Nickelodeon.

—Apps for Salesforce.com.

—A stock-market visualization app called Market Replay from Nasdaq.

To try most of these apps, you will have to install the latest version of Adobe AIR.

Developers who want to create AIR apps can get the second version of the beta, released today, here.

    Ha ha,

    Funny enough when you log into some sample AIR apps on the Adobe AIR website they don’t work on the new AIR version. Is this what we are looking for? sounds like another Microsoft blooper…

    animation isn’t enough to make me ditch an open standards-based web (warts and all) in favor of a binary blob.

    Services like their Media Player will finally kill TV. I downloaded it this morning and, aside from a few Beta glitches, it works so intuitively and cleverly. TV is sunk.
