AIR for Linux

The application that helped people to work on online appliances even when are offline is now made available for open sources system. This AIR or Adobe Integrated Runtime is software to craft rich internet applications. The arresting feature which magnetizes everyone is its ability to relocate web applications to the desktop and amass data offline. Using this influential tool a developer can create rich applications using web technologies such as HTML, PDF, Flash, Ajax and Flex. Adobe has already launched version 1.0 of AIR for windows and Mac OS platforms. The impediment in releasing AIR for Linux is due to the fact that they wanted to enable Flash Player support for the open source operating system. Adobe will also be collaborating with the Linux Foundation, a non-profit organization that dedicates itself for the development of open source systems.
