Excellent! Adobe is set to release AIR 1.0 tomorrow.

I sure hope they’ve fixed most of the more prominent bugs in Beta 3. I had to abandon work on an AIR version of generatedata.com because it was just too buggy. You can develop AIR apps via Flex or with standard HTML/JS, and since generatedata.com is a DHTML app, I naturally vouched for the latter. The problems I ran into was all seemed to revolve around the way it handled select fields. First it failed to display simple HTML optgroups; second, whenever the focus was on a select box it would draw the focus away from the main application; third, there were some position rendering problems with select fields placed in overflow:auto elements. That last one really got my goat so I put the project aside until a new release came out.

I’m looking forward to picking it up again – it’s a neat technology.
