I think it looks interesting and I will be giving it a trial starting sometime next week.

One potential indicator for future acceptance of this technology is the number of books scheduled for release during 2008 featuring Adobe Air - just take a look at the Amazon list. While certainly not a foolproof indicator it does show just how many authors and publishers are prepared to bet something on future take-up.

Didn't we just spend the last N+1 years desperately trying to avoid client-side downloads and installs? Seriously though, maybe in a few years, if and when the runtime comes pre-installed in most OSs/browsers (or something similar).

There is a engineering release of the Linux Air release! A friend forwarded me the limited release announcement. But, I'm not sure how'd you get a copy?

I will strongly recommended you to take a look at jnext (http://www.jnext.org) free, open source and cross platform - and most of all it is powered by the community and none of the giants
