Adobe Integrated Runtime, also known as Adobe AIR, codenamed and originally called Apollo[1], is a cross-OS runtime environment for building Rich Internet Applications, using Flash, Flex, HTML and Ajax, that can be deployed as a desktop application.
A public preview release of the AIR runtime, then known as Apollo, along with an SDK and extension for developing Apollo applications with the Flex framework, was released on March 19 2007. On June 10, 2007, it was renamed to AIR and a public beta of the runtime was launched. Public beta 2 of AIR SDK was released by Adobe on October 1, 2007. The latest version, Public beta 3, was released by Adobe on December 12, 2007.[2][3] Currently, beta-builds of Adobe AIR are available from Adobe for the Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows operating systems. A Linux version is expected to be released in the third quarter of 2008. Adobe announced at Adobe MAX 2007 that AIR is expected to be released in the Spring of 2008.

- JavaFX from Sun Microsystems.
- XUL, XULRunner and Mozilla Prism from the Mozilla Foundation.
