Adobe Air on the go!

As pioneers of a sofware industry has started to build AIR applications by which the transition between the on and offline worlds become seamless.

Last year Google Launched its application Gears while Microsoft in 2006, unveiled its SilverLight technology and now, Adobe is willing to create such applications. It normally allows computer users to use online applications offline.


It will be available to all of the platforms that are booming around. A free download will allow users to run any Air applications.

"If I'm on the road with my laptop maybe I want to use the desktop version of my application. If I pop into an internet cafe I can still access it through the browser" - Andrew Shorten, platform evangelist at Adobe told BBC News.

Adobe is also looking into provide the Air versions of many of its popular programs such as Photoshop which is a always a better sign.

"Our advice would be to only install applications from sources that you trust," said Mr Shorten.
