I’ve known about AIR for quite a while now and have had the passing thought of “I should learn that”.  Now, put that thought into my queue of every other frameworks, languages, and CMS’s I have in my heap of items to learn….and it tended to get lost.

Then strolls in this great little write up and video linked to from Engadget: http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/adobe-air-developer-demonstration-one-game-five-platforms-all/

iReverse running on OS X, Windows 7, Ubuntu Linux, the iPhone, a Droid and the new iPad, explaining how it took only a series of seriously tiny platform-specific wrappers to make his program function on each.

Now it looks like I might have to move AIR forward in my queue.  With that kind of potential it could be a major advantage for applications that aren’t tied to the platform specific functionality…and that’s a lot of app ideas!
