APC magazine has a writeup of Adobe’s cross-platform runtime, AIR, which looks at eBay’s beta version of eBay Desktop based on Adobe AIR (its verdict: less annoying that eBay’s website) and a number of other applications which have been written for AIR, including:

• Arise  – a news aggregator;
• Bee – a desktop blog editor which integrates with WordPress and Flickr;
• Fresh – an RSS feeder created using AJAX;
• MapCache – a map/direction system using Yahoo! Map Web Services;
• Podcast Player;
• RoadFinder which combines Google Maps and Yahoo! Maps.
