Adobe announces, AIR, Flex 3, Open Source, and the kitchen sink

Adobe made a handful of announcements early this morning:

The Flex team’s blog announcement has more details and a lot of links to get you started.

The biggest change from "yesterday" is that it might be easier today to write a cross-platform application — as long as AIR/Flex supports what you want to do outside of the browser. I’d like Adobe to offer the "Express" edition of Flex Builder so I can build things for free, just like Microsoft does with Visual Studio.

Are you excited about this "AIR"? (Or Flex?)
