Another AdobeAir application lets you run Pandora without having to dedicate a tab in Firefox. This one has a big application because it allows you to continuously listen to music without having to keep your browser open. As I said this is very similar to the idea of Prism but seems to be taking off a little better.

Adobe has a new product on the web called AdobeAir. This is an interesting little project as it allows web applications to stand alone as their own applications so you do not need to run them constantly in FireFox. It works off the same idea as Prism from Mozilla. One nice part about this application is anyone can build stand alone air applications. Another nice feature is that these applications will update themselves as new versions come along so no hard work there to stay up to date. The application syncs with Google Reader so your items are marked correctly as you read them. With the latest version they have added in all the shortcut keys you have access to on the web.
Not too sure I have a big use for this application as I spend a lot of time playing with the style sheets and ad-blocker software to make sure I do not see adds but non-the-less it is something pretty interesting.
