Customized web/desktop hybrid apps with EarthBrowser and AIR 1.5

Adobe AIR 1.5 is being released. It uses the SquirrelFish Javascript accelerator which is really cool. With the upcoming EarthBrowser Javascript API, having a fast Javascript engine will make it much easier to create not only customizable web applications with the EarthBrowser virtual globe embedded, but also a customizable desktop app using your same code base with the ability to work offline and have hooks into an embedded database.

What the? Creating your own AJAX style web app with the EarthBrowser API will be just a small step away from creating your own desktop application with your geo-content.

More on this later.
