Adobe's attempts to push interest in rich internet applications received a boost with the official launch of its AIR cross-operating system runtime and Adobe Flex 3 open-source framework.
Launched on Monday, Adobe claims AIR combines the dynamic nature of the web with the data capabilities of the desktop, while Flex 3 is a cross-platform set of components and tools for building rich internet applications (RIAs) that run on any browser and operating system.
Targeted at both designers and developers, AIR and Flex 3 are described by Adobe chief technology officer Kevin Lynch as technologies intended to "create highly interactive and expressive applications".
"This year we predict a significant uptake in RIA development as our toolset and technologies are now quite mature, and because our RIAs deploy to Flash, 98 percent of internet-enabled desktop users worldwide can actually see the content that is produced," said Andrew Shorten, Adobe platform evangelist.
