I downloaded RichFLV a long time ago, and to this day its one of the best AIR applications I've come across. Adobe's Media Player, The ADC Desktop, and a few others are better. However I've seen some stuff tonight that really made me smile and inspired me.

The on Air Weblog has various videos. I hadn't been there for some time, and stopped by to see a recording Serge Jespers made of Benjamin Dobler. We get a sneak-peak of the next RichFLV application (which is quite nice), but then Benjamin starts talking and showing the Parleys.com AIR application and how it ties into the site.

Watch that video. The UI seems to be really good, there are lots of elements that are available, lots of smarts in the handling of states, etc. Inspiring stuff.

The overall UI of the Parleys.com AIR application I like more than the Adobe Media Player (although the AMP has a much smaller visual footprint... so perhaps I shouldn't be making a comparison like that).

Benjamin's blog can be found here. I've run into mentions of him before, but this is the first time I've paid enough attention, the attention he deserves. Killer work Benjamin! I am a fan.
