I’m curious what “features” are in Adobe AIR that makes it unique from browsers. I’ve heard that it has SQLlite on board, but what else makes it any different from Chrome’s application mode (get the same functionality using Firefox’s Prism plugin)
Is it fair to call it a browser?
AIR is technically a runtime much like Prism, and Silverlight (dunno about Chrome) for RIAs. They try to bridge the gap between the desktop applications and the browser. Browsers typically do not have disk access.
I’d suggest you go through this link.
