Adobe AIR 2.0 Beta out – list of new features
Adobe released a beta of the next version of AIR – AIR 2. Christian Cantrell posted an exhaustive list of everything that’s new in AIR 2.0. The list is impressive, and includes some things we’ve been thinking about – audio recording, calling native apps, multi touch and many more. The number of AIR applications on my computer is rising, and looking at this list, I can tell the number is just going higher.
Are you an AIR developer? What do you like the most in that feature list?

Craig Mundie demonstrates future UI – part 1 and part 2.
