I was watching Kevin Lynch’s presentation on the goals of Adobe for future deployments of AIR and he demonstrated the desired path for Adobe. He talked about the new Open Screen alliance and the goals of a unified flash player and a unified AIR runtime deployed across the many partners and devises.
Kevin specifically mentioned that Adobe would imagine a workflow where developers would build an application for a mobile devise running within the AIR runtime and be able to deploy the same application to a pc as well. The mockup images below show the Adobe media player running on a devise and then the same application running on a Windows desktop.

iSpy was created based on Doug McCune’s Simple Flex Motion Detection example In addition to Doug’s web based motion detector, iSpy uses the AIR File and FileStream classes with the JPEGEncoder class to do its magic.
