Adobe announced last week details for the forthcoming 2.0 version of their Adobe AIR (of which I’m a big fan). It’ll be released in beta format by the end of 2009, with the official release in the first half of 2010 (theoretically). The updated AIR 2.0 will be able to make use of mounted mass storage devices, like flash drives and cameras, will be able to communicate with native applications running on the computer, should have improved performance, and more.
For more on Adobe AIR, you can check the official Adobe AIR Web site, read this review (of AIR 1.5), or see my book on developing AIR applications using HTML and JavaScript.
