BusinessWeek on AIR Applications at DEMO
January 30th, 2008 by Ryan StewartIt was a really great week for Flex and AIR at DEMO this week and there are some really awesome companies building on the Adobe RIA platform. BusinessWeek picked up some of the standouts from DEMO and highlighted some of the AIR applications that were shown on stage:
Another intriguing trend at this year’s DEMO is the way numerous entrants have made use of Adobe’s (ADBE) AIR technology. Unveiled at last year’s DEMO, Adobe AIR is used to create rich Internet applications that can run both while a computer is connected to the Internet and, to some degree, when it isn’t.
AIR-based entrants at this year’s DEMO include Joggle, an online service designed to organize the files you have scattered among the hard drives on multiple PCs in a single browser window. Joggle was created by Fabrik, a vendor of external hard drives that is familiar with the confusion people face when trying to remember which documents, songs, photos, and videos are stored on which computer. Other DEMO participants that utilize Adobe AIR are Acesis, which created data-management software for health-care providers, and Israel’s 2Win Solutions, which built a Web-based collaboration application called KonoLive.
