Adobe have announces the new Creative Suite edition 4 that appears to offer better RIA development across a range of the tools. You can now create Adobe AIR interfaces in Fireworks CS4 ready for deployment to HTML, SWF or Flex.

This is really going to open up the toolset to more designers which in turn gives us more cool AIR apps! So get ready to get your hands on the new Creative Suite 4.

Adobe AIR 1.5 SDK (code named Cosmos) is now being included with the latest Flex 3 nightly builds. Aiming to bring the build process of Flex and AIR tighter together. There are some great things mentioned like the new JavaScript engine SquirrelFish, and fixes for the annoying opening of new browser windows.

Mike Chambers has a detailed post on the developments so check out his post.

TO get you hands on the nightly builds head on over to the Adobe Open Source site for Flex.

The guys over at Carsonified together with Adobe are running a competition at the Future of Web Apps Expo. You don’t even have to build the application, just describe your ideal, ground breaking Adobe AIR application in under 200 words. Then bring your completed entry to the FOWA Expo in London for your chance of winning.

There will be people from Adobe on hand to help you with any AIR questions you may have about developing compelling desktop applications with AIR.a
