AIR (Addobe Integrated Runtime) example done in Rev

[Bill Marriott]

Indeed, it is a competitor but overall I think it's good for Rev as it 
validates the importance of desktop applications. The only reason to use 
AIR/Apollo is that it would be easier than using traditional desktop 
programming languages to get things done -- largely because you are familiar 
with ActionScript/Flash/JavaScript.

Revolution is easier still, and growing more powerful all the time. The new 
browser integration, for example, means you can embed Flash in your Rev 
solutions quite easily.
