It seems Air is heading in the other direction as we are in Rev.

ADOBE(R) Flash(R) Platform: New Beta Releases Now Available

Our engineering teams have been working hard to refine and build new

Platform. New beta releases are now available and we'd like you to check
them out.

ADOBE(R) AIR(R) 2: Outside the browser
-----------------------------------------------------------------

We'd like you to take an early look at the new beta release of Adobe(R)
AIR(R) 2 software, now available on Adobe Labs:
--------------------------------

Adobe AIR 2 software is the next version of the Adobe Flash Platform
runtime for delivering web applications beyond the browser. Now, Adobe
AIR lets you use ActionScript(R) or JavaScript languages to quickly
build powerful web applications for the desktop on Mac OSX, Microsoft(R)
Windows(R), and Linux(R) operating systems. New features include
performance improvements that help pave the way for mobile devices,
multi-touch and gestures, enhanced support for mass storage devices,
peer-to-peer networking, and UDP networking. You can now use Adobe
AIR 2 to extend your applications even further with platform-specific
native code.

Adobe AIR 2 builds on the success of AIR 1.0, which has been installed
on more than 200 million desktop computers and adopted across industries
by leading companies, such as BBC, DIRECTV, Fedex, The New York Times
Company and Salesforce.com. Adobe AIR has also been recognized through
awards from MIT Technology Review, Popular Science, CNET, WebWare, and
many other industry leaders. Capabilities such as user notifications,
local file access, and secure local database have made AIR an important
addition to the standard toolbox for web developers. Integration with
popular web IDEs such as Flex(R) Builder(R), Aptana Studio(TM), Adobe
Flash CS4 Professional, and Adobe Dreamweaver(R) software makes it easy
to build applications with your existing tools while reusing existing
code.
