Adobe has released Flex 3 and AIR 1.0

Adobe has just announced on Flex.org that Flex 3 and AIR 1.0 are now available <http://flex.org/>... Today(25th Feb) is a big day in the history of RIAs.

Flex 3 is a feature-packed release, adding new UI components like the advanced datagrid and improved CSS capabilities; powerful tooling additions like refactoring; and extensive testing tools including memory and performance profiling, plus the addition of the automated testing framework to Flex Builder.

Adobe AIR is game-changing in so many ways, delivering rich applications on the desktop, enabling access to the local file system, system tray, notifications and much more. Now you can write RIAs on the desktop using the same skills that you've been already using to create great web apps including both Flex and AJAX.
