Errm…Hulu desktop isn’t an AIR application.

It runs Flash natively on the desktop.

Comapping is a gem. It is without a doubt the most usability-focused mind mapping program I’ve encountered. We’ve used it to hash out software scope, project breakdowns, and even content creation. Also, their development team is quite responsive and open to suggestions.

So how is Adobe AIR’s promise different from that of Java. An interesting comparison would be how many installed JVMs in browsers and desktops.

Or is that another Apple-esque intsall-base that has no (or little) choice in the matter, but it gets installed by default?

Never mind – we all know the answer.

Thus the number is entirely irrelevant.

I just downloaded flair and wanted to say that destroyflickr is a better general browser with AIR if you are interested.

It took me a while to get navigation down perfectly but I like it much better than using flickr’s site.

Not to mention the omniscient TweetDeck that runs on Air or Seesmic. I have to confess that I was reluctant to use a desktop app, but Adobe Air-based apps have proven to be solid although it might not be too intuitive to work with. I would also recommend, DestroyTwitter, DiggTop or Shrinkadoo among others.

The BBC iPlayer application is built with AIR, so I imagine that added a good few to the number.

I don’t like this kind of frameworks, every os should have guidelines to follow.

http://ParaTweet.com runs in an Adobe AIR app. The documentation with AIR has been pretty poor and caused our team quite a few headaches…guess that’s just part of the growing pain process though.

I think it’s slightly misleading for these companies to be bragging about their downloads and installs when they FORCE the software on you unknowingly. Same goes for Safari for Windows…it’s bundled in with iTunes and most people don’t even know they’re installing it. It’s like a car dealership bragging about the number of cupholders they’ve sold…

AIR is the best thing for indie developer. We need not bother about OS of a desktop, nor even if it is desktop or website app…
