Question: What do AOL, eBay, The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc., The New York Times Company, Nickelodeon/MTVN Kids and Family Group’s Nick.com, Sharp Corporation and others have in common? The answer is that've all launched pioneering Rich Internet Applications deployed on Adobe AIR, to coincide with the official release today of AIR 1.0.
“RIAs have moved beyond the stage of early adoption. They are being deployed by
organizations worldwide that have recognized and embraced this revolution in Web
software,” said Kevin Lynch, newly promoted CTO at Adobe.
“The incredible
momentum that we are already seeing with Adobe AIR demonstrates the real need
for businesses to engage with customers in more effective ways, extending
innovative RIAs as first class citizens on the desktop," Lynch added.
Here are three of the showcase examples cited today by Adobe, in summary form:
- NASDAQ Market Replay leverages Adobe Flex and Adobe AIR to deliver a RIA on the
desktop that enables financial professionals to replay market activity in detail
at any point in time, helping investors understand how their orders interacted
with the market.
- The New York Times Company today launched ShifD, a new RIA that allows users to
shift content between computers and mobile devices. ShifD works on — and between
— the Web, mobile devices and through a downloadable AIR application, giving
people an easier way to consume media on the go.
- Deutsche Bank is utilizing Adobe Flex and Adobe AIR to create a persistent,
customer-facing RIA that alerts customers immediately of instruction status and
account activity inclusive of balances. Deutsche Bank’s db-direct internet
service provides an intuitive and effective online solution for corporate
clients and financial institutions to handle their cash management needs.
Other companies using Adobe Flex and Adobe AIR to create and deploy RIAs on the
desktop, according to Adobe, include: Atlantic Records; BBC; Business Objects; FedEx Corp.; Loyalty Management Group (Nectar); and Wilson Sporting Goods.
