Air Web Browser?

Tuesday, March 25, 2008   

Since we have the powerful WebKit at our beck and call, and we can create our own tabs for the TabNavigator, etc. I am wondering when we might see someone build their own UI flavor of a browser built in AIR.

Bookmarks, History, Tabs, etc. would all be there for the taking, and someone might develop some new UI paradigms using the flexible (no pun intended) developing environment we have. Kuler-based themes, different bookmarking schemes (using relationship data), browser widgets, etc. would be cool things to play with.

Anyone know of anyone taking on this kind of challenge?

“That's excellent Faisal. Looks like I had decent timing blogging about it. Please let us all know about the location when it goes live. Can't wait to check out the SVN.”
