Adobe Air - Web Site Always On thru Applets
Adobe AIR (Adobe Integrated Run-time) is a cross-operating system runtime that allows developers to use their existing web development skills to build and deploy rich Internet applications to the desktop.
Uhh...English please?
Adobe is trying to put could put a mini application on your desktop using which you'd be able to do some useful things while not connected, and the web site is "always" with you - whether or not you are connected.
Adobe Air enables websites to break out of the browser with applets. These applets don't have the full power of a traditional desktop application, but they are much quicker and easier to write, and web developers create them using familiar tools such as HTML (JavaScript, CSS, XML), Adobe Flash (ActionScript, Flex, XML) etc...
Interesting, though one needs to wait and see whether this one finds more acceptability than similar efforts in the past with Java applets...
