CIO Today AIR Article

On Tuesday January 22nd CIO Today posted an article on Adobe AIR and the hopes of startups like Instacoll cashing in by providing

"smart Web-enabled clients that allow users to seamlessly switch between the desktop and browser versions while automatically taking care of synchronisation and version-control aspects without requiring any manual actions."

"We see our AIR app as providing an alternative to users who want to collaborate from the desktop, running any OS, and use the app in offline mode without requiring any Microsoft software"

I think it's great to see the interest in Adobe Air but there still seems to be some concerns about competition, deviation from understood desktop interface usability, the terms and conditions of use as well as some missing or not well developed areas of the platform.

We will have to see how Adobe addresses these concerns when AIR is no longer in Beta. I for one see great business productivity potential from simple expense report applications to full suites of applications for Insurance Companies.

The possibilities are endless.
