Adobe AIR and eBay's Excellent Adventure

Yesterday, a new eBay San Dimas Beta Version was announced.  You may wonder what it is San Dimas.  It has nothing to do with William "Bill" S. Preston, Esq. and Ted "Theodore" Logan, San Dimas's most famous fictional citizens.  San Dimas actually is a desktop application from eBay using Adobe Air, formerly code-named Apollo. Suprising, little publicity has been made about eBay embracing Adobe AIR. AIR is "a cross-operating system runtime that allows developers to use their existing web development skills to build and deploy rich Internet applications to the desktop."
